Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 4 cups Frozen shredded hash browns
- 10 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
While the sausage cooks, chop the green onions into thin slices and separate the white and green parts. Set aside.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns, followed by 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until fully combined.
Stir in the white parts of the green onions into the egg mixture for additional flavor.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage, hashbrowns, and cheese layers in the baking dish.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the eggs are set in the center and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions before serving.
Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your cheesy sausage brunch casserole!
