Ingredients
Scale
- 30 oz bag frozen shredded hash browns (thawed)
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh chives or green onions (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground breakfast sausage and cook until browned and crumbled, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the pan and set the meat aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. In the prepared baking dish, spread the thawed hash browns in an even layer. Top the potatoes with the cooked sausage and 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chives or green onions if desired and serve hot.
