  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled into small pieces
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded (to go into the hashbrowns)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded (to be sprinkled on top of the casserole)
  • 1 cup yellow onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil

  • Cook according to package instructions on the hashbrowns.
  • Once the hashbrowns are cooked, add one cup of cheese, spinach, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic. Cook for an additional minute.

  • In the 9x13 casserole dish, place the hashbrown mixture on the bottom layer.
  • Layer the ground sausage on top of the hashbrowns. Top with crumbled bacon. Using the back of a spatula, firmly press down the mixture in the casserole dish. This will allow the ingredients to adhere together so they don't all fall apart when servings are scooped out.

Notes

To make ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before. Bake in the morning adding an additional 10-15 minutes on the baking time.
Toppings to add: Hot sauce, avocado, Pico de Gallo, salsa, or ketchup (my kid's personal favorite!)
