Ingredients
Scale
Sausage
- 1 pound Sausage
Egg Mixture
- 6 Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 package Frozen Hashbrowns (15oz)
- 2 cups Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
- Brown Sausage: Crumble the sausage into a skillet over medium heat on the stove and cook until fully browned. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined to create the custard base for the casserole.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to the egg mixture and stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning.
- Combine Ingredients in Dish: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, layer the frozen hashbrowns, browned sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir these ingredients together gently within the dish to mix.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the seasoned egg and milk mixture over the combined ingredients in the baking dish, allowing it to soak through.
- Bake Covered: Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. This allows the casserole to cook through without drying out.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of sausage, such as pork, turkey, or plant-based, to suit dietary preferences.
- Shredded cheddar cheese can be substituted with other cheese varieties like mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- Ensure hashbrowns are frozen and uncooked before adding to the dish for the best texture.
- Covering the casserole with foil during the first part of baking helps cook the hashbrowns thoroughly.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking to set before serving.
