Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 30 oz frozen hashbrowns
  • 1 lb spicy Italian sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar & mozzarella blend)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a large baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  3. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the spicy Italian sausage until browned and crumbly, which brings out its flavor and ensures it’s fully cooked.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked sausage with frozen hashbrowns, softened cream cheese, beaten eggs, milk, and salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly until well combined to create a uniform casserole mixture.
  5. Add Cheese: Stir in half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella blend into the mixture, infusing cheesy richness throughout the casserole.
  6. Assemble Casserole: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and spread evenly. Then, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top to create a golden cheese crust after baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and fully set in the middle, indicating it is cooked through.

Notes

  • You can substitute spicy Italian sausage with mild sausage or turkey sausage for a milder flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the sausage is gluten-free and avoid any added fillers.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes after baking for easier slicing and serving.
  • Feel free to add diced onions or bell peppers to the sausage when cooking for extra flavor and texture.
  • Use softened cream cheese at room temperature to make mixing easier and smoother.
