Description
Our Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole is, like a symphony of breakfast favorites coming together. It combines crispy, brown potatoes with the richness of ground breakfast sausage. Every bite is a mix of flavors from the aromas of marjoram and thyme to the smooth and melty cheddar cheese. We add some peppers for a pop of color and top it off with sliced green onions, for a fresh touch.
Ingredients
30 oz shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 pound ground breakfast sausage (e.g., Jimmy Deans All Natural)
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 red pepper, diced
½ c butter
10 eggs
1 c milk
1/2 tsp marjoram
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp seasoned salt
½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
3 c shredded cheddar
3 green onions, thinly sliced (divided)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Make sure to grease a casserole dish that measures 9×13 inches.
Spread the thawed hash browns, on the bottom of the dish.
In a skillet cook the sausage until it’s nicely browned. When it’s halfway done add some onions and red peppers. Continue cooking until the sausage is fully cooked. Allow it to cool down.
Drizzle some melted butter over the hash browns, mix them well and then sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese on top.
Layer the cooled sausage and vegetables over the hash browns.
In a bowl combine eggs, milk, herbs, salt and pepper. Mix everything well. Pour this mixture into the casserole dish.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top along with half of the onions.
Bake for around 45 to 50 minutes until everything is nicely set. Before serving garnish with the remaining onions.
Remember to allow some resting time, for your casserole after baking before digging in. Enjoy your meal!
