With layers of crispy hashbrowns, fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and melted cheese, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Easy to make ahead and customizable with your favorite mix-ins


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups frozen hashbrowns, thawed
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Spread the hashbrowns evenly in the baking dish, pressing them slightly to form a base layer.
  3. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess grease and sprinkle the sausage over the hashbrowns.
  4. Add shredded cheeses evenly over the sausage layer.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the diced bell peppers and green onions if using.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the casserole, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, bake the hashbrowns alone for 10 minutes before adding other ingredients.
  • Swap sausage for bacon or ham for variety.
  • Add spinach, mushrooms, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Can be made ahead—simply refrigerate overnight and bake in the morning.
