Add butter to pan and brown the hashbrowns in the same skillet you cooked the sausage. This step is optional but adds more flavor and texture to the sausage and egg casserole. Skip this step if you are making the casserole ahead of time.

FAQs

What can I add to sausage and egg casserole?

  1. Vegetables: You can add vegetables like diced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini to the casserole. Sauté the vegetables first to remove excess moisture.
  2. Cheese: You can add shredded cheese to the casserole to make it creamy and flavorful. We use cheddar, but Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  3. Herbs and Spices: You can add herbs and spices like thyme, rosemary, paprika, or cumin to the casserole to give it more depth of flavor.
  4. Bread: You can add bread to the casserole to make it more filling. Cut a few slices of bread into small cubes and add them to the casserole before baking.
  5. Hot Sauce: If you like a little heat, you can add a few dashes of hot sauce to the casserole before baking.
  6. Bacon: You can add crumbled bacon to the casserole to give it a smoky flavor.
  7. Ham: Diced ham is another great addition to a sausage and egg casserole.
  8. Sour cream: You can add a dollop of sour cream to the casserole before serving to give it a creamy finish.
