Top tip
Any good cook knows that a little advance planning can go a long way in the kitchen. This is especially true when it comes to casseroles. A casserole is a dish that can be made ahead of time and then baked when you're ready to serve it. This is a great option for busy families or entertaining guests. And while there are many different casserole recipes out there, one of our favorites is Potato, Sausage, and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole.
Here are our top tips for making this delicious dish:
- Pre-cook the potatoes. This will help them to cook more evenly and prevent them from getting mushy.
- Use a good quality sausage. We like to use duck sausage, but you can use any kind of sausage that you like.
- Be sure to chop the broccoli into small pieces so that it cooks evenly.
- To save time, you can use frozen shredded hash browns instead of pre-cooking the potatoes. Just be sure to thaw them first.
- Make sure the casserole is cooked through before serving. You don't want anyone to get food poisoning!
Follow these tips and you'll be on your way to making a delicious and healthy breakfast casserole that everyone will love!
