Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz frozen shredded hash browns
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 cup diced onion
- 1 as needed butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into small crumbles, until browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat and drain any excess grease.
Spread the frozen shredded hash browns evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage and diced onions evenly over the hash browns.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash browns, sausage, and onions. Gently shake the casserole dish to ensure the liquid is distributed evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
