Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz Frozen shredded hash browns
- 1 lb Breakfast sausage (ground or links, cooked and crumbled)
- 12 large Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease and evenly distribute the sausage over the hash browns.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Stir 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash browns and sausage in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours).
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the casserole (covered) for 40 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped green onions and serve warm.
