Notes

If using frozen hash browns, make sure they are easily separated before mixing with the other ingredients.
Use a large mixing bowl to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
To make a smaller portion, you can halve the recipe or use a smaller pan.
If you have extra cheese cubes, you can use them in place of shredded cheese.
Feel free to slice the sausage to your liking.
This casserole can be made ahead of time and frozen for later use.
