Key Ingredients

Sausage – This recipe uses ground pork breakfast sausage, such as Jimmy Dean or Tennessee Pride.
Eggs and Half and Half – These are the base of the casserole. They bake up soft and fluffy.
Hash Browns (hashbrowns) – We use a frozen bag of hash browns but thaw and drain on paper towels.
Seasonings – Bell peppers, onions, dry mustard, salt, and pepper is all you need for a fantastic flavor.

How to Make Sausage Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray, and set aside.

Cook the sausage and bell peppers. When almost cooked through, toss in the green onions.

Whisk the eggs, milk, ground mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Add the shredded hash browns, cooked sausage mixture, and shredded cheese, and combine.

Pour into the casserole dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. This is when you can cover and refrigerate overnight. Or bake at 350º for 55-60 minutes.

Tips

Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded store-bought cheese is covered in cellulose and doesn’t melt as well.

Variations

You can use any ground sausage you like, such as turkey sausage or Italian sausage.
Add diced ham or crumbled bacon.
Choose your favorite cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, mild cheddar, or Monterrey jack cheese.
Use leftover vegetables such as broccoli, mushrooms, or asparagus.
