Famous Sausage & Cream Cheese Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole

All of my favorite breakfast foods in one easy casserole! Frozen hashbrowns, sausage, cream cheese, eggs and cheddar cheese. 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.
