- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 bag (20 oz) frozen hashbrowns
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Liquid Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
Seasonings and Garnish:
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions or parsley
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 375°F and generously coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Crumble 1 lb of breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, cooking until completely browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
- Transfer the cooked sausage to a large mixing bowl and combine with the entire 20 oz bag of thawed hashbrowns and 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Spread the hashbrown mixture evenly across your prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk 6 large eggs with 1 cup of milk, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, and ½ tsp paprika until completely smooth.
- Gently pour the egg mixture over the hashbrown layer, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Slide the dish into the preheated 375°F oven and bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and firm egg set.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle ¼ cup of chopped green onions or parsley across the top for a fresh finish.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving your warm, hearty breakfast bake.
Notes
- Thaw hashbrowns completely and pat dry to prevent excess moisture from making the dish soggy.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or nonstick baking dish to help prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Swap pork sausage for turkey or plant-based sausage to accommodate different dietary preferences.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to help it set and make cutting easier.
