Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 8 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Use a spatula to break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns in the casserole dish.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and hash browns, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
If desired, garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
