Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 4 cups Frozen hash browns
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Using the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, cooked sausage, sautéed onions and garlic, and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
