Sausage Hash Brown Casserole
A hearty breakfast casserole brings together savory pork sausage, crispy hash browns, and melted cheddar cheese under a fluffy egg blanket. Using a mix of mild and hot ground sausage gives the dish a gentle, warming kick that wakes up the palate. It is an excellent choice for feeding a weekend brunch crowd or prepping ahead for busy weekday mornings. The combination of tender potatoes and rich, cheesy eggs delivers pure comfort in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. mild ground pork sausage
- 1 lb. hot ground pork sausage
- 1 (30-oz.) pkg. frozen hash browns
- 1½ tsp. salt, divided
- ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 4 oz. Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- 1Heat the oven to 350°F. Place the mild and hot ground pork sausages in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spoon until it crumbles and loses all pink color. Drain the excess fat thoroughly.
- 2Cook the frozen hash browns following the instructions on the package, seasoning them with ½ teaspoon of the salt and the black pepper. Combine the cooked hash browns, browned sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese in a bowl. Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased 13- by 9-inch baking dish.
- 3Beat the eggs, milk, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt together in a separate bowl until smooth. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and potato base in the baking dish.
- 4Bake the casserole in the heated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the top turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
