Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using spicy sausage or adding herbs such as oregano or thyme. You can also substitute the American cheese with cheddar or mozzarella for a different taste. If you prefer, frozen hash browns can be used directly without thawing, just adjust the baking time accordingly. For a healthier option, use turkey sausage and whole grain crescent rolls.
