Sausage Breakfast Casserole
All your breakfast favorites baked up in one easy casserole! This sausage breakfast casserole has eggs, hash browns, crumbled sausage, and 3 types of cheese. Serve as is or serve with warm tortillas and salsa.
Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage, mild or regular
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups (8 oz block) swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 cup shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13 baking dish well with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a skillet pan, over medium-high heat, cook sausage, diced onion, and salt until sausage is no longer pink. Crumble sausage as you cook it.
- In a large mixing bowl add the thawed hash browns, eggs, cottage cheese, and shredded cheeses. Stir together until combined.
- Drain the sausage of any grease once it's done cooking. Add into the hash brown mixture and stir everything together. Dump into the prepared pan and evenly spread it out.
- Cook for 45-50 minutes. Edges will be golden brown and the middle should look set and not "jiggly".
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan before serving.
Notes
- Use regular breakfast sausage, hot breakfast sausage, or even the maple breakfast sausage. My kids love the maple one so I normally use that in this casserole.
- Recipe originally published in June 2016. I have updated the post with new text and new pictures July 2020. Recipe is the same.
- There have been several times that I have not used both swiss cheese and colby jack cheese and it's turned out fine. If you want less cheese than just use 2 cups cheese total or 1 cup of each. It really is very adaptable.
- For the hash browns : I like to use the dehydrated shredded potatoes that you let sit in boiling water. You can also buy a large bag (like 30 oz) of frozen shredded hash browns and let them thaw.
