Christmas Shopping Casserole
Are you one of those people that loves to shop or hates to shop? I am definitely someone who hates to shop. I can do the online shopping just fine but in-person shopping is not my favorite way to pass time. It’s torturous at times. I decided that there are a few reasons for this. One is usually I am holding a large purse and it’s heavy to lug around all day. Second, I am usually wearing a coat and then have to take it off when I get into the warm store and have to lug it around all day. Third, I’m usually under-fueled and that means I get hangry. Well I decided that I can at least thoroughly control the third reason I don’t like shopping. Making sure to get fueled up with a good breakfast will make a big difference.
This is an easy breakfast casserole with just 5 main ingredients! It’s eggs, sausage and hashbrowns all in one dish. You can get creative if you want and swap out the sausage for turkey sausage or even bacon. Try using cauliflower rice in the place of hashbrowns for a lower carb option. Use whatever kind of cheese you like best…cheddar, pepper jack, colby are all good options. For extra nutrition, add in a few handfuls of chopped spinach after you add in the hashbrowns. It’s up to you! Plus you can cook this recipe in any way you like…crockpot, Instant Pot or oven! Happy shopping 😏

You’re welcome Dawn! I’m glad you both liked it!
This was excellent. Very similar to a Christmas casserole I bake every Christmas morning, but your recipe is so much faster/easier, I used Hot sausage to give it an extra kick.
