Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 16 ounces frozen hash browns
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coat of olive oil.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the small diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the sausage with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked—about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns. Then, evenly distribute the cooked sausage and onions over the cheese layer.
Pour the whisked egg mixture over the sausage and hash browns, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy!
