Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and hash browns in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole, ensuring even coverage.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve warm.
