Hash browns, sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, eggs, milk, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Can make ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze for later. Can split between two pans and bake one and freeze one for later. This breakfast casserole is great for breakfast, lunch, great for brunch, potlucks, tailgating, and any upcoming holiday breakfasts! SO GOOD!
I love the flavor combination of sausage and cream cheese. I am always looking for new ways to incorporate it into my favorite dishes. I tried it in this hashbrown breakfast casserole and the results were AMAZING! OMG! SO good!!!! You can make this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze for later. You can even split it between to pans and cook one now and save one for later.

This casserole has all of my favorite breakfast foods. Frozen hashbrowns, sausage, cream cheese, eggs and cheddar cheese. I browed the hashbrowns in a large skillet prior to putting them in the casserole. I think it helped get the potatoes fully cooked and crispy

I used a roll of Jimmy Dean HOT breakfast sausage in this casserole. If you don’t want the casserole to have a little kick, use all regular breakfast sausage instead. I also used regular cream cheese. I think using low-fat cream cheese would be fine, but I would stay away from the fat-free cream cheese in this dish.

As I said, we absolutely LOVED this Sausage & Cream Cheese Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole! It would be great for brunch, potlucks, tailgating, and any upcoming holiday breakfasts! Here are a few of our favorite side dishes from the blog that go great with this casserole:
