Spicy Sausage Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Sausage Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   Next, grab a skillet and heat it over medium heat.

3. Step 3

   Add in the spicy breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

4. Step 4

   Keep stirring until the sausage is no longer pink, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s perfectly browned, drain any excess grease and transfer the sausage to a bowl, setting it aside for later.

6. Step 6

   In the same skillet, toss in the frozen hash browns.

7. Step 7

   Cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they turn a lovely golden brown, which should take around 8 minutes.

8. Step 8

   When they’re ready, remove them from the heat.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to build your casserole! Spread the crispy hash browns evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.

10. Step 10

    Layer the cooked sausage on top, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese and, if you like a little kick, some optional green chile peppers.

11. Step 11

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until everything is well combined and frothy.

12. Step 12

    Pour this creamy mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, allowing it to seep into all the nooks and crannies.

13. Step 13

    Pop the casserole into your preheated oven and bake it uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden brown and the casserole is bubbling with excitement.

    Your kitchen will soon be filled with mouthwatering aromas, and you’ll know it’s almost time to dig in! Enjoy your hearty breakfast casserole, perfect for any gathering or a cozy family brunch.
