Description
A delicious breakfast casserole combining savory sausage, bacon, creamy cheese, and comforting hash browns, perfect for gatherings or busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 1 pound bacon, chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 (30-ounce) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and drained
- 1 (1-ounce) 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 pork 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 whole milk, eggs, ranch seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix until well combined.
- Stir the cooked sausage and bacon, 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 baking dish. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes to ensure thorough cooking. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes to set before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy.
