Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 3 cups Frozen shredded hash browns
- 8 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Remove from heat and drain any excess grease.
Spread the frozen shredded hash browns evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter over the hash browns.
Distribute the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns. Sprinkle the finely chopped onion on top.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and hash browns in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve warm.
