Make-Ahead Breakfast Casserole
This breakfast casserole comes together the night before, so the morning is free for coffee and whoever is gathered around the table. Eggs, hash browns, sausage, and sharp cheddar bake together with a full jar of our Fire-Roasted Cantina Salsa, which brings smoky, roasted flavor to every bite. Slide it into the oven when the first person wanders into the kitchen. It's made for holiday mornings, houseguests, and a Sunday brunch with the whole family.
