Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Frozen hash brown potatoes
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 12 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 pieces Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 can Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the crock pot.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Layer the cooked sausage on top of the hash browns in the crock pot.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika until thoroughly combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. Mix well.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and hash browns in the crock pot, ensuring it is distributed evenly.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or overnight.
Once cooked, remove the lid and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
Spoon the casserole onto plates and garnish with additional green onions or extra cheese if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your festive breakfast!
