Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen hash browns
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp butter or cooking spray
- 2 tbsp green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into crumbles with a spatula as it cooks. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.
Add the frozen hash browns, cooked sausage, and 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center. You can check by inserting a knife or toothpick; it should come out clean.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
