Fluffy Sausage Egg Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns
- 5 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups nonfat milk
- 1/2 pound pork sausage or bacon or ham
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 1 cup shredded cheddar-jack cheese or your favorite melty cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Add a teaspoon of oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until slightly softened; 1-2 minutes. Add sausage and cook until no longer pink, breaking up the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage and onions to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Spray an 11×7-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange frozen hash browns in the bottom of the dish, then sprinkle on the sausage and shredded cheese.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture evenly on top of the casserole.
Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until eggs are set. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley and top with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
