Breakfast does not have to be eaten just in the mornings any longer. Many families have evenings when they make breakfast for dinner and let me tell you it is truly a refreshing change of pace! This Breakfast Casserole is one that is super delicious, easy to make and combines all of your favorite breakfast items in one pan.
I have seen many different variations of this casserole, but they do not match up the same way.
Some have too much potato in it and not enough sausage or egg. When you make a breakfast casserole you want an equal combination of each ingredient. This casserole is also a way to get kids to eat eggs when they do not like the taste of eggs.
The flavor is combined with others in this so it does not taste as bland as what they expect.
Should I use frozen hash browns or home made hash browns?
With this casserole, I prefer to use frozen hashbrowns. You could use homemade hash browns, but that is time you do not have. Go the easy route and use the frozen.
What type of sausage should I use?
Any flavor of ground breakfast sausage is good for this recipe. I generally use the simple plain ground sausage.
Is Cheddar Cheese the best to use?
I like using Cheddar Cheese, however, you can use any type of cheese that you prefer. This could be Mozzarella or a blend of different cheeses.
Do I have to use the green chilis?
Of course not! The green chilis add a touch of bite or heat to the casserole. You can add more or less of the green chilis than what is listed.

2 pounds Sausage, ground breakfast type
