Best Breakfast Casserole (Hash Browns & Eggs)
A hearty and cozy breakfast casserole with hash browns, perfect for brunch. Enjoy the delicious flavors of sausage, cheese, and eggs.
Equipment
- 8x8-inch baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 pounds frozen hash brown potatoes thawed
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 1 small onion diced
- 5 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 12 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a deep-sided 8x8-inch square pan; add hash brown potatoes and arrange in an even layer.
- Place sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until the sausage is browned and crumbled, about 10 minutes; drain.
- Meanwhile, whisk eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined.
- Pour over the potatoes and sprinkle with ½ of the Cheddar cheese.
- Add sausage mixture on top and sprinkle with remaining Cheddar. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove foil; return casserole to the oven and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Be sure to use a baking dish that is deep enough to cover with aluminum foil. If your dish is less than 3 inches deep, use a 9x13-inch pan instead. A thinner casserole may need less baking time—check for doneness after 50 to 55 minutes.
