Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 20 ounces frozen hash browns
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, finely diced onion, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the cooked sausage to the hash brown mixture and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to set.
Optional: Sprinkle paprika and fresh parsley on top for garnish before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Sausage Hash Browns Casserole!
