Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen shredded hash browns 30-32 oz
- 2 lbs hot breakfast sausage
- 16 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and 160°F, 7-10 minutes. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- While the sausage is warm, stir in the cream cheese until fully combined and creamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Spread the frozen hash browns evenly in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Top with the sausage-cream cheese mixture. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and hash browns. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the eggs are set, the center reaches 160°F and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispier top, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
For added flavor, mix in diced bell peppers or green onions. You can assemble it the night before and refrigerate it, adding a few minutes to the bake. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and eat within 3 to 4 days; reheat to 165°F.
