Description
This hearty Breakfast Potatoes Casserole is packed with crispy potatoes, eggs, cheese, and savory sausage – a perfect make-ahead brunch dish for holidays, weekends, or meal prep. Easy to throw together and always a hit!
Ingredients
▢ 1 lb frozen diced hash brown potatoes (or fresh, cooked and cooled)
▢ 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
▢ 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
▢ 8 large eggs
▢ ½ cup milk or heavy cream
▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
▢ ½ teaspoon onion powder
▢ Salt and black pepper, to taste
▢ 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread the diced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
4. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the potatoes, followed by the shredded cheese.
5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top. Use a spatula to gently press everything down so it’s mostly submerged.
6. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
7. Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chives or green onions if desired.
Notes
• Want to make it spicy? Use hot breakfast sausage or add red pepper flakes.
• Make it vegetarian by skipping the sausage or using plant-based alternatives.
• Perfect for holiday mornings or meal prep – reheats well!
