How To Make Sausage Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole
PREP
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Take frozen hash browns out of the freezer and set aside, so they can partially defrost.
- Grate Cheddar cheese and chop green onion.
- Dice breakfast sausage.
Preparing the Sausage
- Use a large skillet to cook sausages over medium-high heat until brown. About 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with flour and add milk. Bring to a boil. Stir frequently. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken. About 1 minute.
Assembling The Casserole
- Spread the shredded hash browns on the bottom of the pre-greased casserole dish.
- Add next layer by pouring the sausage mixer over the hash browns.
- Top with green onions and shredded Cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 40 minutes at 350 Fahrenheit. Serve immediately.
More Things You Might Want To About Making This Recipe
- COOKING TIP: Use a block of (Cheddar) cheese and grate it yourself.
- Pre-grated cheese contains fillers and preservatives to keep the cheese fresh and prevent it from clumping.
- Freshly grated cheese has none of that. And it also melts a lot better.
- Pre-grated cheese will often be more expensive, too.
- TOOL TIP: I like a simple shredder/grater like this one.
- BREAKFAST SAUSAGE:
- I used fresh sausage, but you can use frozen breakfast sausages instead.
- If you use frozen sausage, allow for some extra time to defrost the sausages.

Doesn’t anyone grow or use potatoes rather than frozen ones? Can you tell me how to convert a recipe to raw potatoes? Thanks?

Use 2 lbs of fresh all-purpose potatoes. (Any waxy potato will work.) Use a grater to shred the potatoes. Transfer the shredded potatoes onto a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze excess water (there will be quite a bit of water). Season with salt and pepper and substitute for hash browns.
