Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Once cooked through, remove the sausage from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the diced onion to the same skillet and sauté in the sausage drippings until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, browned sausage, sautéed onion, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and cream of mushroom soup. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Pour the melted butter into the mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Mix again until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle the top with a little paprika for color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this comforting and savory dish with your favorite breakfast sides or on its own!
