Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the pork sausage until browned. Drain grease.
- In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, cooked sausage, and half of the crispy bacon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and whole milk until smooth.
- Whisk in the eggs, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and all the seasonings.
- Pour the egg mixture over the hash brown mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and bacon.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the middle. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For a lump-free filling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature.
- Draining the thawed hash browns is key to preventing a watery casserole.
- You can assemble this the night before and bake it in the morning.
- Feel free to add some chopped bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
