SUBSTITUTIONS FOR SAUSAGE
This recipe is also great with ham! It’s a fantastic way to use up any leftover ham you may have lingering from the end of year holidays or Easter! Simply sub the sausage for diced ham.
VEGGIES
If you decide to substitute ham instead of sausage, try making a western omelet style casserole by adding your favorite veggies like onions and green bell peppers.
CRESENT ROLL SUBSTITUTIONS
You may use a tube of Crescent rolls or a Crescent dough sheet. Either work great. If you use the rolls, make sure you press the seams together in the pan before adding any other ingredients on top. You make also need to stretch the dough a bit to cover the entire bottom of the pan.

FAVORITE MIXING BOWL
You can certainly use a traditional glass mixing bowl for the egg mixture, but I love this mixing bowl for eggs and baking! It is super light weight, so makes pouring much easier.
CASSEROLE DISH
Make sure to use a casserole dish or lasagna pan for this recipe. You don’t want to use a shallow 9×13 glass dish, for example. You need the extra space on this one – trust me! Here’s an example of the type of dish you want to use.
BRUNCH MENU PAIRINGS
If serving this for brunch, I recommend pairing with a fruit salad or spinach salad on the side. Add in a glass of OJ or a mimosa and you’re all set!
This sausage egg and cheese hashbrown breakfast casserole is sure to impress anyone who tries it. It’s perfect for the holidays and/or feeding a crowd. You’re going to love it!
