How to Make Sausage Hash Brown Egg Casserole:
Preheat Oven & Prepare Dish:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Bake Hash Browns:
- Arrange the frozen hash browns in a single layer at the bottom of the baking dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes to help them crisp up slightly.
Cook the Sausage:
- While the hash browns are baking, cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat.
- Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
- Drain any excess grease.
Assemble the Casserole:
- Once the hash browns are done baking, remove the dish from the oven.
- Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage over the hash browns, followed by the shredded cheese.
- Then, sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the top.
Mix and Add Eggs:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake:
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Then, remove the foil and bake for another cooking time of 15–20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center.
Serve:
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips and tricks for making this delicious breakfast recipe:
Can I make this smaller?
Sure! Feel free to make it in a 8×8 baking dish or a large skillet that is oven safe, and then halve the ingredients for the saussasge hash brown breakfast casserole.
Can this be prepped ahead of time?
You could use this as a make ahead breakfast recipe if you are looking for casserole overnight options.
But, I like it best when I cook it a day before and reheat it in the oven for a delicious holiday breakfast. It is definitely my make-ahead breakfast casserole, because it is super delicious and esays to make for a sunday morning.
Things to add to the sausage egg casserole:
- Add bell peppers, red bell pepper, or green peppers are my favorite
- Diced red onion
- Crispy bacon crumbles
- Chopped green onions
Frozen potatoes to use:
While I do like to use the frozen hashbrown patties for this recipe, you can always use either tater tots or just the normal crispy hash browns.
