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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
