Cheesy Potato Hash Breakfast Casserole

I really enjoy dishes that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner and this Cheesy Potato Hash Breakfast Casserole is one of them.  This super hearty casserole has all the flavors that are loved at breakfast with the potato hash and the meat with the gravy.  Of course you can't forget the gooey cheese that goes well on everything any time of the day. Put them all together and serve them hot out of the oven with toast, scrabbled eggs, a salad, or even a side of steamed broccoli and you have a dish that will make anyone happy what ever time of the day they are eating. Another plus, I cooked everything in one pan and just threw in the oven to bake.  My son loved this dish and his only addition was a squirt of ketchup.  Kids love ketchup on everything so I won't hold it against him. :)
