Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 8 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small bite-sized cubes. Place the cubes in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into crumbles. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain excess grease, if needed.
Spread the cooked potatoes evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish. Layer the cooked sausage on top of the potatoes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until thoroughly combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes and sausage in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole, spreading it evenly. Add the sliced green onions on top for extra flavor and color.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your hearty sausage potato breakfast casserole!
