Inspired by Julie & Julia, I’m cooking my way through Magnolia Table Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I’m calling it The Jeanie Jo & Joanna Project. Recipe 117 of 457 is Sausage & Hash Brown Casserole — and here’s how it turned out.

There’s something about breakfast casseroles that feel like an act of love. Maybe it’s the simplicity, or maybe it’s the way they fill the kitchen with warmth long before anyone else wakes up.

This one started with sizzling sausage, golden diced potatoes, and a mix of eggs and cheese that poured together like a promise of comfort. It baked until the edges turned crisp and the center set into that perfect creamy balance of hearty and homey.

A dish like this doesn’t ask for much — just a quiet morning, a hot oven, and your hungry humans.

Kitchen Notes

• Tool: casserole dish — the workhorse of every Southern kitchen.
• Tip: Let it rest for five minutes after baking — the layers hold together beautifully.
• Serve with: A a side of salsa.
