Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen hashbrowns (do not thaw)
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or preferred melting cheese)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, brown the ground sausage over medium heat until cooked through and crumbly. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  2. Soften the Cream Cheese: While the sausage cooks, soften the cream cheese by microwaving for about 30 seconds, then stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, softened cream cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen hashbrowns, cooked sausage, and shredded cheese into the egg mixture. Fold gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes or until the casserole is set and the top is golden and bubbling. Let rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest flavor and best melting texture.
  • Do not thaw the hashbrowns; using them frozen helps keep the casserole crispy and prevents sogginess.
  • Let the casserole rest a few minutes after baking to make it easier to cut and serve.
  • Grease the baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  • Mixing different cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella creates a gooier, more flavorful topping.
