A simple and hearty breakfast casserole featuring crispy hash browns, savory sausage, and gooey cheese, perfect for busy mornings or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 oz frozen shredded hash browns
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 12 oz cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving some rendered fat in the pan.
  3. Add diced onions to the skillet and cook in the sausage fat for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the frozen hash browns with melted butter, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread half of the hash browns evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage and sautéed onions over the hash browns. Add half of the shredded cheese on top. Repeat layers with remaining hash browns, sausage, onions, and cheese.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered casserole. Press down gently with a spatula to help the egg seep through the layers.
  8. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed, golden on top, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use frozen hash browns partially frozen for best crispiness. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Can substitute sausage with ham or bacon. For a low-carb version, swap hash browns with riced cauliflower or shredded zucchini. Prepare sausage and onions ahead to save time. Rest casserole before slicing to avoid runny texture.
