Sausage & Egg Hashbrown Casserole
If you’re looking for a dish that will be sure to please your holiday guests, look no further than this sausage and egg hash brown casserole. It’s made with a handful of simple, affordable ingredients and only requires 15 minutes of prep time. It’s also freezer friendly so you can make it in advance and reheat it later for another breakfast or even dinner!
The key to making this casserole is making the hash browns nice and crispy before you add them to the mixture. You can use fresh hash browns or thawed frozen hash browns (I prefer the thawed ones because they’re crisper).
This is an easy and tasty meal that the whole family will love. Just a few ingredients are needed to make it, including breakfast sausage, hash browns, eggs and cheese.
First, cook the sausage in a large skillet until it is no longer pink and has been broken up into smaller pieces. Remove from the heat and drain on paper towels.
Next, whisk together the eggs with milk and seasonings (a teaspoon of salt, a pinch of pepper and a dash of garlic powder or onion powder). Pour the egg mixture over the layered hash browns and sausage in the casserole dish.
When the casserole is ready, sprinkle a little bit of cheese on top. Be sure to use sharp cheddar because it contrasts with the sausage and egg beautifully.
You can also replace the breakfast sausage with ham or bacon if you’d like. Or you could add in sliced vegetables or even mix up the cheese flavors!
I like to use a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella. If you prefer, you can use pre-packaged, store bought cheese and grate it yourself.
Once the casserole is cooked, let it cool and serve. It’s a great meal to bring for brunch or eat on your own!
This is a perfect breakfast for a family that loves savory hash browns. It’s also a great breakfast for guests because it is easy to prepare and can be prepared ahead of time.
Bacon & Egg Hashbrown Casserole
This is one of my favorite savory breakfast dishes and it’s easy to make too. It’s perfect for feeding a crowd and can be made ahead of time and baked in the morning, making it a great option for holiday mornings or when you have a lot of guests coming over.
For this recipe, you’ll need hash brown potatoes, onions, eggs, bacon, and cheese. You can make this dish gluten-free by using a gluten-free brand of hash browns and you can also switch out the bacon for cooked sausage, diced ham, or ground beef. You can even turn this casserole into a Tex-Mex breakfast by adding chopped chorizo and a can of chilies to it.
To start, cook the bacon in a skillet until it’s crisp. Set it aside to cool and chop it up into small pieces. Then, put the hash browns in a baking dish and add the bacon and cheese. You can use regular cut bacon if you prefer, but it will take longer to cook and you might have to remove the dish from the oven before the hash browns are completely browned.
Once the hash browns are arranged in an even layer, add the onion mixture and half of the cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the hash browns and sprinkle with the remaining bacon and cheese.
If you’re looking for a hearty and delicious breakfast, this Bacon & Egg Hash Brown Casserole is sure to be a hit! It’s an easy recipe to prepare and it tastes even better the next day.
