Can I Use Fresh Potatoes Instead of Frozen Hash Browns?

You definitely can. If you’d prefer to use fresh potatoes, grate them and squeeze out as much moisture as possible before using. The frozen shredded hash browns are convenient and consistent, but fresh potatoes give you a more rustic texture and flavor. Just make sure they’re well-drained to keep the casserole from getting watery.

Ingredients for the Sausage, Egg And Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole

What makes this breakfast casserole so reliable is its simplicity. Each ingredient plays a role in building flavor and texture.

• Breakfast sausage — Brings savory, seasoned richness and protein to the dish.
• Frozen hash browns — Form the base layer, giving that perfect crispy-edged, tender center bite.
• Eggs — Bind the casserole together while adding protein and fluffiness.
• Milk — Helps the eggs bake into a creamy, custardy texture.
• Cheddar cheese — Melts into the casserole and gives that gooey, comforting flavor.
• Salt — Enhances all the natural flavors in the dish.
• Black pepper — Adds a mild kick and balances the richness.
• Butter — Used for greasing the baking dish and adding a little extra richness to the hash browns.

How To Make the Sausage, Egg And Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned and no longer pink, drain excess grease and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Hash Browns

If using frozen hash browns, thaw them first. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter and spread the hash browns evenly across the bottom. Press them down slightly with your hands or a spatula.

Step 3: Add the Sausage and Cheese

Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns. Follow with a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 4: Mix the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese in the baking dish.

Step 5: Bake Until Set

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
