Open in Pepper →A pan of shredded potatoes baked with eggs, sausage, and cheese feeds a crowd without anybody standing at the stove flipping things. It reheats well, and it's just as good at 6 p.m. as it is at 7 a.m.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on Christmas morning, when company is staying over, and on the weeknights when breakfast for dinner is the only thing everybody agrees on.
Every recipe here is potatoes and cheese in some form: the classic hash brown casserole with cream of potato soup and sour cream, a cast iron breakfast casserole with diced tomatoes, sausage cream cheese tater tot breakfast casserole, cheesy kielbasa hashbrown casserole, and an overnight crockpot version you start the night before.
Thaw and dry the potatoes
Let a 32-oz bag of frozen hashbrowns thaw, then press them between paper towels. Wet potatoes turn the middle soupy.
Brown the sausage first
Cook a pound of breakfast sausage or sliced kielbasa 8 to 10 minutes and drain it well before it goes in the pan.
Assemble it the night before
Mix everything, cover, and refrigerate up to 12 hours. Add 10 to 15 minutes to the bake time when it goes in cold.
Let it rest before cutting
Pull it at 350°F when the center is set, then wait 10 minutes so the squares hold together on the plate.
