A hearty breakfast casserole filled with eggs, cheese, and crispy hash browns, perfect for a family brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 oz frozen shredded hash browns, plain and unseasoned
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 lb cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (optional)
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and let cool.
  3. If the hash browns are in a block, break them apart.
  4. Whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and sour cream in a large bowl until smooth.
  5. Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for flavor.
  6. Add the hash browns, cooked sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently fold until coated.
  7. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish, pour in the mixture, and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake uncovered for 50-55 minutes until puffed and golden.
  9. Test for doneness with a knife; it should come out clean.
  10. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chives if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy topping, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Use room temperature eggs for a fluffier texture.
