Description
A hearty breakfast casserole featuring crispy hash browns, savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melted cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 (2-pound) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 1 small onion, diced
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a deep-sided 8×8-inch square pan (or 9×13-inch for easier handling). Add the thawed hash brown potatoes and spread them into an even layer across the bottom.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage and diced onion until completely browned and crumbled, about 10 minutes. Drain the excess grease and set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash browns in your prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs, spread the cooked sausage mixture on top, and finish with the remaining cheese. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before slicing to make serving easier.
Notes
You can customize with vegetables or different types of sausage. This dish can be assembled the night before for easy baking in the morning.
