Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 pounds thawed frozen hash brown potatoes

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 1 small onion, diced

Egg Mixture

  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 12 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Gather and Prepare Ingredients: Begin by collecting all the ingredients including thawed hash brown potatoes, pork sausage, diced onion, eggs, milk, onion and garlic powders, salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Hash Browns: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease an 8-inch square baking pan. Spread the thawed hash brown potatoes evenly in the pan to form the base layer of the casserole.
  3. Cook Sausage and Onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage and diced onion together, stirring occasionally. Cook until the sausage is fully browned and crumbled and the onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet for a leaner casserole.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined. This egg mixture acts as the binder for the casserole ingredients.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash brown layer in the baking pan. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the egg mixture. Next, layer the cooked sausage and onion mixture evenly on top. Finish by sprinkling the remaining cheese over the sausage mixture. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake and Finish: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake covered for 1 hour. After an hour, carefully remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure hash browns are fully thawed to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  • Drain sausage fat well to reduce greasiness in the final dish.
  • Feel free to substitute pork sausage with turkey sausage for a lighter version.
  • You can add chopped bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
