Ingredients & Tools You'll Need

To whip up this Easy Breakfast Casserole With Sausage and Hashbrowns, you’ll need a few simple ingredients.

You’ll also want an 8 x 8 baking dish for this recipe. It’s the perfect size to hold all the delicious layers. Make sure to have your mixing bowls ready for the egg mixture and a spoon or spatula to help with layering.

With just these few items, you’re on your way to a breakfast that everyone will love!

How To Make It

Making this breakfast casserole is straightforward and pretty much foolproof. Start by gathering everything you need and getting your oven preheated. It’s all about layering those flavors and textures, and I promise you, it’s going to be worth the little bit of prep time.

Preparation

Begin by chopping up your cooked sausage links into bite-sized pieces and adding them to your greased baking dish. Drizzle the maple syrup over the sausage – this is where the magic happens. Next, spread your hashbrowns evenly over the sausage.

I like to make sure they cover every inch for that crispy goodness.

Now grab a mixing bowl and combine the beaten eggs, heavy cream, and Lawry’s seasoning. Give it a good whisk until everything’s blended. Pour this heavenly mixture over the hashbrowns, ensuring it seeps down to the bottom.

Use a spoon or spatula to gently push the egg mixture into the hashbrowns to make sure it’s all incorporated. Finally, top it off with a generous layer of shredded cheese.

Cooking

Preheat your oven to 350°F and pop that casserole in for about 30-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the eggs have set nicely. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard not to sneak a bite before it’s ready.

When it’s cooked through, let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. This is key – it helps everything hold together better when you serve it.

Cut into squares and serve while it’s warm. You’ll see that melted cheese stretching as you lift a piece, and the combination of flavors will have everyone coming back for more.

Serving & Variations

This breakfast casserole is great on its own, but you can also serve it with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess. A common consensus among home cooks is that adding jalapeños or hot sauce can kick things up a notch if you like a bit of heat.

Feel free to customize this dish by throwing in some sautéed onions, bell peppers, or even spinach for a veggie boost. If you want to make it ahead of time, prep everything the night before and store it in the fridge. Just remember to increase the baking time a bit if you’re starting with a cold casserole.

Wrapping Up

There you have it – a delicious and Easy Breakfast Casserole With Sausage and Hashbrowns that’s sure to impress. It’s simple, customizable, and absolutely satisfying. I can’t wait for you to try it!
