Hashbrown and Sausage Casserole

Hashbrown Casserole WITH Sausage!

Wanna know how to take a side dish that is already fab on its own and make it SUPER FAB? Add MEAT! My husbands psychology is that everything is better with Meat! So that is what we did. We took a tried and true Hashbrown Casserole recipe and added some cooked, ground sausage to the mix!

What you have here is a meal made from a side dish! THIS is why I love cooking! You can make almost any recipe your own by changing a tad here or adding something new there.  Here is how we did it.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground breakfast sausage, browned

• 26 oz bag frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed

• 1/2 cup butter, melted

• 1 can cream of chicken soup

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 16 oz cheddar cheese, grated and divided into 1 cup portions

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 8 oz sour cream

Method

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a large casserole pan. I use a 9 X 13 for this recipe.  In a large bowl, add in Hash brown potatoes, salt and pepper and mix well. In a medium bowl, mix sour cream and cream of chicken soup. Add onions, cooked sausage, butter and 8 oz of cheese to potatoes and mix well. Combine soup/sour cream mixture with potato mixture and spread evenly in lightly greased pan. Top with remaining 8 oz of cheese and bake for 30-45 minutes until top is melty an potatoes are bubbly and browned around edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool and rest for about 10 minutes.

Enjoy!

As always, we would love it if you shared this recipe with your family and friends. Over to the side on this posts and all of the others are handy dandy share buttons. We would sure be grateful if you “Shared” the love!
