During finals week of my freshman year of college, my dorm served special themed meals in the cafeteria. The dinner hours were extended to accommodate those students who studied for their exams late into the night. I always looked forward to those dinners because the food seemed slightly better than the regular meals that were normally served. And my favorite meal was always breakfast for dinner.

Eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and hashbrowns were just a few of the foods that made its way onto the cafeteria counters. My dorm went all out with the breakfast foods, and it showed by the amount of students that were always lined up to sample the breakfast.

Although I usually filled my plate several breakfast items, the one dish that I always took an extra serving of was their sausage egg potato casserole . It was filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, potatoes and sausage. Basically all of my favorite breakfast foods combined into one, which is probably why I loved it so much.

So in an effort to recreate my dorm’s favorite dish, I’m excited to share with you my delicious sausage hashbrown breakfast casserole.
