Smoked Sausage Breakfast Casserole

I could eat this casserole all day. I found the original recipe here, but changed it up by using hash browns instead of cubed potatoes, and I added some jalapeño, onion and green bell pepper for some kick and added flavor.


I think I might add a teaspoon of Cajun seasoning next time.
