🛒 What You’ll Need
🌭 1 lb breakfast sausage
🥔 1 (30 oz) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
🧀 8 oz cream cheese, softened
🧀 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
🥚 6 large eggs
🥛 1 cup milk
🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
🌶️ ½ teaspoon black pepper
🧄 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 ½ teaspoon onion powder
👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Cook the Sausage
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked.
Drain any excess grease.
2️⃣ Make the Creamy Mixture
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Whisk in the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar.
3️⃣ Add the Hash Browns
Fold the thawed hash browns and cooked sausage into the cream cheese mixture.
Stir gently until everything is evenly combined.
4️⃣ Fill the Baking Dish
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread the mixture evenly into the dish.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheddar over the top. 🧀
5️⃣ Bake Until Golden
Bake uncovered for 40–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is beautifully golden.
Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
6️⃣ Serve It Up! ☕
Cut into squares and serve warm.
Add fresh green onions, hot sauce, or a spoonful of salsa if you like.

💡 A Little Tip
For the best texture, thaw and drain the hash browns well before mixing them in.
Extra moisture can make the casserole softer than you'd like.
You can also assemble the casserole the night before, cover it, refrigerate it, and bake it the next morning. Just allow a little extra baking time if it's going straight from the refrigerator.
