MAKE AHEAD SAUSAGE HASHBROWN

Recipe Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet with the sausage and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage and vegetables with the thawed hashbrowns and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and hashbrown mixture, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
  7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the foil from the baking dish and bake the casserole for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  9. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
