nonstick cooking spray
Cut sausage and chop onion into small pieces.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray, add the sausage and onion and cook until the onion is translucent and the sausage begins to brown, about 5 minutes. This step can be skipped if you cut the onion small enough it cooks in the time it takes the casserole to cook.

Notes

Gently toss the ingredients together in the bowl so the hash browns don't break into small pieces.
