Make this hearty, cheesy breakfast casserole with sausage and hash browns. It is simple to assemble and perfect for feeding a crowd at brunch or for easy weekend mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
  • 1 (30 ounce) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the thawed hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, onion, and green bell pepper over the hash browns.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the eggs to the soup mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and hash brown layers in the baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top layer.
  8. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare this casserole the night before. Assemble all ingredients except the cheese, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Add the cheese in the morning and add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
  • For a richer flavor, use a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
