Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Large Skillet
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb SAUSAGE
  • 1 bag HASH BROWNS
  • 8 large EGGS
  • 2 cups CHEDDAR CHEESE
  • 1 cup MILK
  • 1 tsp SALT
  • 1/2 tsp BLACK PEPPER
  • 1/2 tsp GARLIC POWDER

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. This ensures the oven is hot and ready.

Step 2:

  • Grease your baking dish with butter or oil. This prevents the eggs from sticking.

Step 3:

  • Place the skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage to the hot pan.

Step 4:

  • Cook the sausage until it is brown. Break it into small pieces with a spoon.

Step 5:

  • Drain the extra fat from the cooked sausage. This keeps the casserole from being greasy.

Step 6:

  • Spread the hash browns in the baking dish. Make sure they cover the bottom evenly.

Step 7:

  • Layer the cooked sausage over the hash browns. Spread it out to every single corner.

Step 8:

  • Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the milk and the dry spices.

Step 9:

  • Whisk the eggs and milk very well. Make sure there are no yellow streaks left.

Step 10:

  • Pour the egg mix over the meat layer. Do this slowly so it sinks down deep.

Step 11:

  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top. Use a lot of cheese for extra flavor.

Step 12:

  • Place the dish in the hot oven. Bake it for about forty-five minutes total.

Step 13:

  • Check if the center is set and firm. The top should look golden and bubbly.

Step 14:

  • Let the casserole sit for ten minutes. This helps the layers stay together well.

Notes

  • Use high quality cheese for the best melt.
  • Do not overcook the eggs in the oven.
  • Add chopped onions for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Make sure the hash browns are thawed first.
  • You can use turkey sausage for less fat.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight glass container.
  • Always grease the sides of the baking dish.
  • Whisk the eggs until they are very bubbly.
