This hearty Hash Brown Egg Casserole is the ultimate make-ahead breakfast or brunch. It layers shredded potatoes, savory pork sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and a creamy, rich egg custard.

Ingredients

Scale

1 (2 lb) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed

1 lb bulk pork breakfast sausage

1 small yellow onion, finely diced

12 oz sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

5 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp fine sea salt

1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. Brown the sausage and onion; drain all grease thoroughly.

2. Press thawed hash browns to remove excess moisture. Spread in a greased 8×8-inch pan.

3. Whisk eggs, milk, and seasonings for the custard.

4. Layer half of the cheese over potatoes, pour in the custard, and top with the sausage mixture.

5. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

6. Cover with foil and bake at three hundred fifty Fahrenheit for sixty minutes.

7. Remove foil and bake for an additional ten to fifteen minutes until set and golden.

8. Rest for five to ten minutes before serving.

Notes

For a crispy crust, pre-bake the dried hash browns with melted butter for 15 minutes before adding the other layers.

Always drain the sausage completely to prevent a watery casserole.

This recipe can be fully assembled and refrigerated overnight before baking.
