Let's Have Brunch - Overnight Country Sausage and Hash Brown Casserole

Any recipe that can be prepared the night before, and just popped in the oven the next morning is a wonderful thing. Whether it's for your family weekend breakfast, or guests at Sunday brunch, anything that can be prepared in advance makes life much easier. This comes from Pillsbury.com and in 20 minutes will be ready to store in the refrigerator overnight. I used a mix of sweet and hot Italian sausage and it was delicious! With a blend of Dijon mustard, sausage, hash browns and cheese it's sure to please your family or friends.
