Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1 30 ounces bag frozen hashbrowns
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Dairy and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and grab a large skillet. Break up 1 pound of breakfast sausage and cook over medium heat until completely browned, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Drain the sausage’s excess fat and transfer the meat to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread 30 ounces of thawed hashbrowns evenly across the cooked sausage.
- Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of cheddar cheese and ½ cup of mozzarella cheese over the hashbrowns, creating a comprehensive cheese layer.
- Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them vigorously with 1 cup of whole milk, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Carefully pour the seasoned egg mixture over the hashbrown and cheese layers, ensuring even coverage across the entire casserole.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and fully set center.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting into hearty servings. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- Drain the sausage thoroughly to prevent a greasy casserole and ensure crisp hashbrowns.
- Thaw frozen hashbrowns completely and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture for a firmer texture.
- For a lower-carb version, swap hashbrowns with cauliflower rice or zucchini shreds to reduce calories.
- Add extra flavor by mixing in diced bell peppers or using a spicy breakfast sausage for a kick.
