If you did your first trip to the Big Apple right, you probably started with a big slice or two of New York-style pizza. From there, hopefully, you moved onto a New York hot dog and then a hefty sandwich from a New York deli. These classic eats are part of the official NYC experience even if you did have to pull out the stretchy pants when you got home. If only there was a way to enjoy those treats without breaking the calorie bank.

I ordered a delicious Hash Brown Sausage Breakfast Casserole at the cutest diner when we were in NYC. I had to come home and recreate it. I think mine turned out even better!

Using a few simple ingredients, you can make this breakfast casserole or have breakfast for dinner in your own home.

What you will need to make Hash Brown Sausage Breakfast Casserole: al fresco all natural’s fully cooked sweet apple chicken sausage, hash browns, eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, salt and pepper to taste.

Al Fresco’s all natural’s fully cooked sweet apple chicken sausage is 70% less fat and 30% less sodium than pork sausage. It’s also dairy and gluten free!
