Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ground breakfast sausage | 2 lbs |
| Frozen hashbrown potatoes | 2 lbs |
| Shredded Gouda cheese | 2 cups |
| Large eggs | 9 |
| Milk | 2 cups |
| Diced green chilis, drained | 1 can |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Onion powder | ½ teaspoon |
| Salt | To taste |
| Pepper | To taste |
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven & Prep Dish: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray so nothing sticks.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until fully cooked and crumbly. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- Prepare the Hashbrowns: Break apart any large clumps in the frozen hashbrowns and spread them evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Add Cheese & Sausage: Sprinkle shredded Gouda evenly over the hashbrowns. Layer the cooked sausage on top.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy. Stir in the diced green chilis.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the dish, pressing down gently so everything is coated and submerged.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake 45–55 minutes, until the eggs are fully set and the top turns golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Rest & Slice: Let the casserole sit for 5–10 minutes before cutting. This makes it easier to slice into neat squares.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm on its own, or pair it with fresh fruit, toast, or a side salad for a complete meal.
