Description
A delicious and creamy breakfast casserole made with hash browns, sausage, eggs, and cheese, perfect for a hearty start to the day.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, sour cream, eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture before baking.
- Substitute the breakfast sausage with cooked bacon or turkey sausage for a different flavor profile.
