Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

• tip 1

  Top your sausage-hash brown breakfast casserole with a generous sprinkle of chopped green onion or chives.

• tip 2

  Serve this hearty dish on your brunch buffet along with bacon, fresh fruit salad and cinnamon rolls.

• tip 3

  O’Brien potatoes are diced and cooked with chopped green peppers and onions. They share a nice boost of extra flavor with no effort on your part. Flavored sausage, from a traditional pork breakfast grind to a spicy Italian or chorizo, play the same role—a meaty richness that rounds up the taste of a simple egg bake.
