This breakfast casserole combines cooked sausage, shredded hashbrowns, eggs, milk, and cheese into a baked dish. It’s filling, full of flavor, and simple to prepare ahead of time. Think of it as a mix between a breakfast skillet and an egg bake, with the added richness of sausage that makes it extra satisfying.
1 lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken, cooked and crumbled)
3 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns (thawed and patted dry)
8 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of your choice)
1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess grease.
Spread the thawed and dried hashbrowns evenly in the bottom of the dish.
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the potatoes.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over the layers and sprinkle cheese on top.
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and slice.
