A hearty breakfast casserole combining pork sausage, bacon, and melted cheddar cheese, perfect for brunch gatherings or family breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) pork sausage
  • 1 pound (450g) bacon, chopped
  • 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120g) sour cream
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (30-ounce/850g) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and drained
  • 1 (1-ounce/28g) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork sausage and chopped bacon until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Then, add the milk, eggs, ranch seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
  3. Stir in the cooked sausage, bacon, thawed hash browns, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until everything is well combined.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour the mixture into the dish and top it with the remaining cheese.
  5. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 50–60 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

This casserole can be prepared in advance and is kid-approved. Feel free to swap the pork sausage for turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.
