Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients and equipment.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and crumble the ground sausage. Cook for about 8–10 minutes until fully browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, crack in the eggs and pour in the milk. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until frothy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Take your greased baking dish and layer the thawed hash brown potatoes evenly across the bottom. Add the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Pour the prepared egg and milk mixture evenly over the layered ingredients. Gently stir to ensure even distribution without disturbing the layers too much.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is bubbly and cheese has melted.
  7. For a golden finish, broil the casserole for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
