The casserole dish from this Sausage Hashbrown and Cheese Breakfast Casserole was empty by the end of breakfast. It’s quick to put all of the ingredients together, and it makes enough for seconds or leftovers. My 11 year old son isn’t usually a fan of too many breakfast casserole recipes, but he kept going back for seconds and said a couple of times, “Mom, this is really good!” I used maple sausage which gave the casserole a tad bit of a sweeter taste, making it very kids friendly. So this recipe is a keeper for us. It is a breakfast recipe that we enjoy making on the weekends especially. Another option is to prepare it the night before and bake it, and then you can easily warm up individual servings in the morning.

Method:

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and then brown the sausage until it is completely cooked. I used ground maple sausage (any sausage, or other meat or vegetable really, will do). This gave it a hint of a sweet taste that the kids really enjoyed.

While the sausage is cooking, grease the bottom of a 9×13 pan to help prevent the casserole from sticking to the bottom of it.

Then, spread the frozen hashbrowns across the bottom of the greased pan.

Then, add the cooked sausage on top of the frozen hashbrowns.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese across the top. You can really use any kind of cheese that you have or like to use here in this recipe.

In another bowl (I just use the measuring cup that I use to measure the milk), combine the milk, eggs, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix with a fork or whisk until the eggs are blended.
