Description

This Cheesy Potato Breakfast Casserole is loaded with hashbrowns, eggs, cheese, and savory sausage or bacon. It’s an easy, make-ahead dish that’s perfect for feeding a crowd or for holiday mornings.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (30 oz) bag frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the hashbrown base:
    • Spread the thawed hashbrowns evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled sausage or bacon on top.
  3. Make the egg mixture:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  4. Assemble the casserole:
    • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hashbrowns and sausage. Gently press down with a spatula to ensure everything is coated.
    • Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top.
  5. Bake:
    • Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set in the center.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add diced bell peppers, sautéed mushrooms, or spinach.
  • This casserole can be assembled the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
