I am a sucker for a good casserole. During the holidays when I can barely catch my breath, I rely on a good casserole to get me through the day. I also love me some leftovers, and casseroles make an easy lunch or dinner.

My all-time favorite casserole is my Festive Hash Brown Casserole that I make every year during the holidays along with my famous gluten free lemon poppy seed muffins. Seriously, I would pass on dessert for itevery single time. It gets bonus points because it’s crazy easy to whip up.

This time I decided to get creative and use my favorite Johnsonville®  Sausage in the recipe. We’ve been fans of Johnsonville® since their sausages are gluten-free. They also have a natural line that is free from MSG and fillers. I really like their smoked sausage as it’s versatile enough to go from a casserole to a holiday appetizer.
