Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage
20 ounces frozen shredded hashbrowns
8 large eggs
8 ounces cream cheese softened and cubed
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, then drain excess grease.
3. Spread the frozen hashbrowns evenly into the prepared baking dish.
4. Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the hashbrowns.
5. Distribute the cubed cream cheese evenly throughout the dish.
6. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined.
7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole layers.
8. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
9. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
10. Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is softened before cubing so it melts evenly throughout the casserole instead of staying in firm chunks.
