Ingredients

Scale

Serves: 6

  • 1 (2-pound) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed

  • 1 pound pork sausage

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 5 large eggs

  • ½ cup milk

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

  • 12 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Grease a deep-sided 8×8-inch baking dish.
    Spread the thawed hash browns evenly in the bottom of the dish.

  2. Cook the Sausage
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage and diced onion until the sausage is browned and crumbled, about 10 minutes.
    Drain excess grease and set aside.

  3. Mix the Eggs
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  4. Assemble the Casserole
    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash browns.
    Sprinkle half of the Cheddar cheese on top.
    Add the cooked sausage mixture, then finish with the remaining cheese.

  5. Bake
    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
    Remove the foil and continue baking for 10 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. Rest and Serve
    Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Thaw and pat dry the hash browns to avoid excess moisture.

  • Use sharp Cheddar for the best flavor.

  • Drain the sausage well to keep the casserole from becoming greasy.

  • Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor and texture.

  • This casserole reheats well, making it great for meal prep.
