Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 pound pork sausage (such as Jimmy Dean), regular or spicy
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 package (30 oz) frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the pork sausage, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Cook until the sausage is cooked through and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
  4. Layer the Ingredients: Evenly spread the thawed hash browns in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Pour the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients.
  6. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
  7. Uncover and Bake: Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set in the center. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
