Cheesy Sausage & Hash Brown Casserole

Sausage, hash browns, cheese and onion topped with crispy, buttery Corn Flakes and more cheese. This is the perfect company breakfast or a dinner like we did. The leftovers were just as delicious as the day I made this.

Preheat oven to 350º and spray a
9” x 13” baking dish with cooking oil.

In a skillet over medium heat,
cook the sausage and onion
until no pink remains. Remove
from the heat and let cool.

Add the thawed hash
browns to a large bowl.

In a medium bowl add the melted
butter, soup, sour cream, 1-1/2 cups
cheese, salt and pepper then stir
to combine.

Add the sausage and onion
to the hash browns and stir.

Add the soup ingredients to the
sausage and hash browns then
stir to combine.

Place the mixture into
the prepared baking dish.

Gently toss the Corn Flakes and 1/4 cup
of melted butter until all of the
Corn Flakes are coated.

Place the Corn Flakes evenly over
the top of the hash browns.

Sprinkle with remaining
1/2 cup of cheese.

Bake for 50 minutes or
until hot and bubbly.

Then serve, this is just as
delicious to eat as leftovers.

Love the use of corn flakes here Diane!
Thank you Dorothy, they were actually crunchy and even when I reheated it the next day.
Thanks for another yummy idea, Diane! I hope you enjoy a great weekend! xx Michael
Thank you so much Michael❤️
:-)) Always with a great pleasure, and much more thanks to you, Diane! xx Michael
Delicious! Thanks Diane. 💕C
Thank you Cheryl, you’re welcome❤️
I wonder how cream of mushroom soup would taste in it? Sounds like a yummy casserole.
It should be just as good Katelon. It tasted amazing with the sausage in it it. Thank you❤️
Very creative and balanced, peace
Thank you so much❤️
Diane, you are always outdoing yourself! This looks delicious. I would have to halve the recipe for us but I’ll be keeping it!
I should have too but it was as delicious as leftovers as the day I made it, even the Corn Flakes stayed crispy. Thank you!
Oh Diane, I’ve certainly missed your cooking skills! Glad to be back after such a terrible break and to find exactly what I love just posted here. So yummy. Thanks for sharing. 💖💖
I’m so glad your back too Lamittan and that you mom is doing better.
Yes, glad to find you doing fine too (I hope you are) and writing well. Thank you, Diane dear.
That looks delicious. And what a creative use of Corn Flakes! I can imagine that it added a sweetness to the savoury ingredients!
Thank you Ab and yes the Corn Flakes gave it a great taste as did the sausage. I have always made hash brown casserole and I told my husband lets make it a meal and add sausage, it tasted amazing.
Yum
Thank you ❤️
That looks so tasty, wasn’t expecting corn flakes to be in there as well. Great idea!
The Corn Flakes added so much flavor and tasted amazing but maybe it was because I tossed them in all that yummy butter. 🤣
Mmmmm! Mmmmm! Love the use of corn flakes too!
Thank you Nancy the Corn Flakes were a delicious addition.
You are right, this is the perfect company breakfast.
It really is and it can be made up ahead of time. Thank you Bernadette.
Cornflakes as a topping – this can only be good!
It really was, Thank you ❤️
So simple, yet so much flavor!
Yes, it was loaded with flavor. I have made many hash brown casseroles and never thought to put meat in them, until now. Thank you❤️
Printing now! Plan to make this for a family camping trip this weekend. Thanks for another great recipe!!
You are going to love this one. It is perfect for camping too, enjoy!
It’s amazing what foods can be put together and look and taste so good! Corn flakes are pretty versatile.
And Corn Flakes are a breakfast food to go with the rest of the breakfast ingredients. So if the kids say I want cereal, you can say you are. Lol I’m ready to make this again soon, it was amazing.
It looked amazing!
Thank you 💕
Interesting about using the Corn Flakes Diane. My mom used to crush Corn Flakes to make a coating for chicken instead of Shake and Bake sometimes and another oddity was Pringles potato crisps in her chocolate chip cookies.
The Corn Flakes tasted crunchy and added so much flavor. I never tried Pringles in anything but have used saltine crackers and Ritz crackers. I bet the Corn Flakes on chicken is delicious too.
Yes, that nice crunch factor. The chocolate chip/potato chip cookies were nice as it was salty and sweet. Yum.
Thank you for reblogging💕
I might contest the corn flakes, but the rest sounds great!
They gave the casserole a crunch and a hint of flavor that really set off the taste. There is so much butter on them you wouldn’t know they were cereal. Thanks!
If they no longer taste like corn flakes (not generally a fan), then I’m all for it! 🙂
I do brunch every year for Christmas and I make a french toast casserole and frittata. I think I will make this instead of the frittata for something different. A much easier prep for sure.
Oh yes it will be much easier and so good Carla. It also makes a lot so it will be perfect for brunch.
