Not Your Average Hash Brown Casserole

I love it when I come across an amazing recipe by accident. On the way to the grocery store last night I Googled โ€œHash Brown Casseroleโ€ and several results came up, but the one that caught my eye was Paula Deenโ€™s recipe on foodnetwork.com. I immediately decided I would go home to create it and boy was it a good decision. This hash brown casserole is the best breakfast casserole I have ever put in my mouth. The picture doesnโ€™t do it justice.

I made it with hot sausage, fresh italian bread and freshly grated parmesan and sharp cheddar cheeses. Itโ€™s not your average hash brown casseroleโ€ฆitโ€™s more like french toast meets eggs and sausage and everything you need in one dish. It puffs up beautifully when itโ€™s baking and the cheese turns to a perfect golden brown. It was so good, Iโ€™ve decided to make it again on Christmas morning. Itโ€™s one of those recipes you can assemble the night before and bake the next morning. Serve it with some fresh fruit and youโ€™ve got a breakfast that wonโ€™t leave you hungry.
