Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Brown and crumble the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat then drain the fat.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine the eggs, milk, and seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder).
- Layer the hash browns, cooked sausage, optional ingredients (red or green bell peppers and/or onions) plus 1 ½ cups of grated cheddar cheese then pour the egg mixture over the ingredients. Mix to combine if desired, then top with remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55-60 minutes, or until the egg in the center is fully cooked. *Cooking times may be longer if you add additional ingredients, or your hash browns are not fully thawed.
Notes
- If choosing to add the optional onion, red bell pepper, and/or green bell pepper and you want them softened, saute with the sausage as it browns.
- Use the Simply Potatoes brand fresh hashbrowns that are sold in 20-ounce packages or frozen hashbrowns that are fully thawed.
- The hash browns amount can accommodate up to 2 pounds or 32-ounces of hash browns.
- Want to add more egg or sausage? Try 10 eggs or 2 pounds of sausage to feed more people!
- Use pork breakfast sausage sold in chubs - whichever flavor you enjoy most. The regular, sage, and hot flavors are all quite tasty.
- You can layer the ingredients and top with eggs, or mix everything together then transfer into your baking dish.
- The hash brown breakfast casserole can be refrigerated or frozen after assembly.
