This year for the holidays, I’m serving Betty Crocker Au Gratin Potatoes Sausage Casserole.
I’ve always had trouble getting my kids to eat breakfast on Christmas morning. Who wants to stop and eat when there are stockings to open and gifts to unwrap? But I’ve learned that if I pop something in the oven while the holiday merriment is underway, the wafting aroma will finally have them asking for breakfast.
I’ve been enjoying Betty Crocker™ Potato Mixes since childhood when they made regular appearances on the dinner table, and for years I’ve been eating them directly as prepared on the box. They’re tasty!
But I love to play around with potato side dish recipes, so I thought to myself….what else could I make with Betty Crocker™ Au Gratin Potatoes? Sausage casserole popped into my head, and that was that.
Christmas breakfast 2014.
Betty Crocker Au Gratin Potatoes Sausage Casserole
Step 1: Get your Betty on. Prepare the potatoes exactly as the box tells you to, but don’t bake them yet!
Step 2: Add your fixins. I used a spicy breakfast sausage, chopped green peppers and diced onions. You can do a mild sausage if your tastebuds demand it, and you can throw any other fixins into the casserole that your little heart desires.
Step 3: Now bake your Betty.
Step 4: You’re on your own. Pick up your fork and get to it!
Betty Crocker Potato Mixes use 100% real potatoes for the best flavor available.
Try the 11 different varieties of casserole potatoes: Au Gratin, Scalloped, Three Cheese, Cheesy Scalloped, Julienne, Loaded Casserole, Sour Cream & Chives, Parmesan & Asiago, Cheesy Hashbrown, Cheddar Bacon and Roasted Garlic.

I have been making this recipe for years. I leave out the bell peppers as they give me heartburn, and I use a whole medium sweet onion coarsely chopped. My family loves this and asks me to prepare this at least once a month. Easy, fast, and the family loves it, can’t beat it!
