Ingredients:

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, bulk or casings removed
  • 30 oz frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread the thawed hash browns in a flat, even layer across the bottom.
  3. Top the potatoes with the browned sausage and a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Whisk in the eggs one by one, followed by the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is completely homogenous.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and potato layers, ensuring the liquid fills all gaps.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–50 minutes until the center is set and the top is deep golden brown.
