1 lb breakfast sausage
1 (30 oz) package frozen hashbrowns
8 oz cream cheese, softened
6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the sausage: In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease.
Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, frozen hashbrowns, cream cheese, eggs, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top.
Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño.
You can make it vegetarian by omitting the sausage and using sautéed vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
If you like extra cheese, feel free to sprinkle more shredded cheddar or try a different cheese like Monterey Jack.
To make this casserole even creamier, consider adding more cream cheese or a spoonful of sour cream.
