Description
This overnight breakfast casserole combines layers of savory sausage, crispy hash browns, and gooey cheddar cheese for a hassle-free, comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 package frozen hash browns (about 30 oz)
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s nicely browned. Once done, set it aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer half of the hash browns across the bottom, then add half of the cooked sausage, and sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining hash browns, sausage, and cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over all the layered ingredients, ensuring an even distribution.
- Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors meld.
- In the morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole, covered, for 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden and the casserole is fully set.
- Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving it warm.
Notes
For a lighter version, consider turkey sausage or a plant-based alternative. This casserole can be served with a fresh salad or fruit.
