I adapted this recipe from my popular classic Breakfast Casserole recipe, which is similar, but doesn’t use hashbrowns). We like to serve it with buttermilk biscuits, fresh fruit, or orange julius.

Drain most of the grease then pour into the egg mixture. Cook chopped veggies in the same skillet the sausage was cooked in for 2-3 minutes then pour into the bowl with the egg mixture.
Bake: Grease a 9×13″ pan with cooking spray then pour in the egg and sausage mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or bake immediately for 40-50 minutes at 350°F. The edges of the hash brown breakfast casserole should be set and the center just barely jiggly.

I made this tonight for my family of seven and it was good! Satisfying all around, which is a lot to say for picky kids :-). I used just 1 lb. of pork sausage and it was still tasty. It was easier to make with the frozen hash browns, which is great to have a time saver. Thank you for another great recipe!
Made this recipe for my grandkids for a Sunday morning breakfast. They loved it!! Definitely keeping this in my arsenal for future Sunday mornings with the grandkiddos!
This is a delicious breakfast casserole! I made it for a “breakfast for dinner” potluck with friends and got compliments on it. In fact one of my friends said it had just the right amount of pepper. It is so convenient that it can be made ahead of time. I didn’t have green onion on hand, so I added some finely yellow onion and added it to the pepper mix (which was also finely diced) as it sauteed.
This recipe is a keeper!
Ive never made a breakfast casserole before, for the first time this was amazing!!! the only thing i did was sub one lb of bacon bc i only had 1 lb sausage. this will definitely stay!
This breakfast casserole is delish. The whole family loved it for before “trick or treating”.
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Just made it and it looks so good! I don’t have a good hashbrown casserole recipe yet so this will be a great addition to my recipe collection
Tastes great. As simple as it is, it tastes fabulous. It feels like something I can prepare ahead of time and leave in the fridge or even freeze to pull out when I want some comfort food and don’t want to cook it. I did replace the frozen potatoes with a mix of russets and yukon golds freshly grated. Totally adding this to my “roll for dinner” list.
YUMMMM!!!!! So good and surprisingly easy to make!! 🙂 🙂
Delicious, but will the recipe still work if I exchange the sour cream with Greek yogurt and lay off the cheese a bit? My boys will inhale it, I’m sure!
Yes, that will work!
This was my first recipe from your site and it was amazing!! We are a non dairy family so the milk, sour cream and cheese were substituted with non dairy versions and it worked perfectly. This recipe is a keeper! Thanks so much!
