Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 30 oz frozen shredded hash browns
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions:

  1. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until fully browned. Drain excess grease.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 10 eggs vigorously. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking, then stir in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
  3. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the thawed hash browns evenly across the bottom, sprinkle the cooked sausage over the potatoes, and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layers, ensuring the liquid reaches all corners of the pan.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and edges are golden brown.
  6. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
