Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
- 1 (30 ounce) package frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 dozen large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Drain off any excess grease.
- Spread the thawed hashbrowns evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Layer the cooked sausage over the hashbrowns.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage layer.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese, sausage, and hashbrowns in the baking dish.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the casserole is lightly golden brown on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of onion powder or garlic powder to the egg mixture.
- You can prepare this casserole the night before. Assemble all layers, cover, and refrigerate. In the morning, uncover and bake as directed, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite additions like chopped bell peppers, onions, or cooked mushrooms.
