Ingredients
1 pound ground breakfast sausage

8 ounces cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 cups frozen hashbrowns, thawed
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain excess fat.
3. Stir cream cheese into the warm sausage until mostly combined.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
5. Spread thawed hashbrowns evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
6. Layer sausage and cream cheese mixture over the hashbrowns.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
9. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes or until set and golden brown.
10. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Make sure hashbrowns are completely thawed to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
For the best flavor and melt, shred your cheese fresh instead of using pre-shredded.
You can assemble the casserole the night before and bake it in the morning for convenience.
