Ingredients

  • 20 ounces shredded hash browns (thawed)
  • 1 pound sausage (cooked, crumbled, and drained)
  • ¼ cup onion (finely diced)
  • ½ red bell pepper (diced)
  • ½ green bell pepper (diced)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded, divided use)
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces, or 1 1/3 cups milk)
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (or your favorite herbs/spices, optional)
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch pan or a 3-quart baking dish, or spray with cooking spray.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage until no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
  3. Prepare Casserole: In the prepared dish, combine thawed hash browns, cooked sausage, diced onions, diced bell peppers, and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese. Mix gently and spread evenly in the pan.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the egg mixture over the hashbrown mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  6. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight if desired for easy morning prep, or bake immediately. Bake uncovered for 55-65 minutes, or until the casserole is cooked through and golden brown on top.

Notes

Serving Tips:

  • Fresh Presentation: Serve the Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole straight from the oven while it’s hot and bubbling.
  • Garnish Ideas: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or green onions on top for a pop of color and freshness.
  • Accompaniments: Pair with a side of fresh fruit salad, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.

Storage Tips:

  • Refrigeration: Store any leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Freezing: To freeze, allow the casserole to cool completely. Cut into individual portions and wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place in freezer-safe containers. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Reheat refrigerated casserole portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes per serving, or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. For frozen portions, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
