🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Trust me, greasing is key. Nobody wants a stuck casserole!
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage. Crumble it as it cooks until it's no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease. Nobody wants a greasier casserole, either!
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, frozen hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, eggs, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until well combined. Make sure the eggs are evenly distributed – that's what holds it all together!
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Smooth it out, like you're tucking it in for a nap.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. Keep an eye on it – ovens can be sneaky!
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This gives it a chance to firm up a bit. Enjoy!
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage while cooking.
- Feel free to add diced vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.
