A delicious and hearty breakfast casserole featuring sausage, bacon, and cheese, perfect for starting your day.
Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) pork sausage
- 1 pound (450g) bacon, chopped
- 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120g) sour cream
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 (30-ounce/850g) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and drained
- 1 (1-ounce/28g) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage and chopped bacon together until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add the milk, eggs, ranch seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Stir the cooked meats, thawed hash browns, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture until evenly incorporated.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 50–60 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
- Make sure to thaw and drain the hash browns to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
- This dish can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or additional spices.
