Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 ounces frozen hash browns
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces chicken sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 scallions green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and chicken sausage, cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sausage is slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hash browns, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, black pepper, and salt until the eggs are fully beaten.
Add the sausage mixture into the hash brown mixture, then pour the beaten eggs over the mixture. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is cooked through.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm. Enjoy your high-protein hash brown casserole!
