Baked Sausage Breakfast Hash

This is a big, hearty breakfast hash loaded with sausages, bacon, eggs and potatoes – all baked in the oven instead of endless tossing on the stove. Not that I own a skillet big enough to handle this much delicious chaos anyway!
Hash, in cooking, is a jumble of fried meats, potatoes, onions and veg – think corned beef hash. In naughty teenager land, it’s something you puff, not eat.
This recipe’s for the edible kind.
I’m told that hash is one of those dishes that came about as a way to use up leftovers, but it’s so good, I make it intentionally – usually for breakfast or brunch.
The thing is, making a big batch the traditional way – in a skillet, tossing everything to get crispy edges and mingled flavours – just isn’t practical when you’re feeding hearty appetites. With the sheer volume and variety I like in my hash, no pan is big enough without bits flying everywhere.
Solution? Bake it. Eggs and all!
