Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 8 frozen hash brown patties
Meat
- 1 lb sausage
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded muenster cheese
- 1 cup shredded Velveeta cheese
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and generously spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Hash Browns: Place the 8 frozen hash brown patties evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a sturdy base for the casserole.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease to keep the dish from becoming too oily.
- Layer Sausage and Cheese: Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the layer of hash brown patties. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded muenster cheese and 1 cup shredded Velveeta cheese evenly over the sausage.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup milk, ¼ cup sour cream, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, and salt and black pepper to taste until smooth and well combined.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire casserole, allowing it to soak through the layers.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep moisture in. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and Finish Baking: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow it to firm up for easier portioning.
Notes
- Use any cooked breakfast sausage you prefer; turkey sausage is a leaner alternative.
- For a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the egg mixture.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning for a convenient breakfast.
- To make it gluten-free, ensure that the sausage and Worcestershire sauce are certified gluten-free.
- Leftovers reheat well in the microwave or oven, making for great next-day meals.
