Ingredients
- 1 lb pork sausage , regular
- 1 onion , medium, finely chopped
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 cups broccoli florets , steamed or cooked and drained
- 4 cups hash browns , frozen, raw, uncooked, completely defrosted
- 6 eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter , melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F.
In a large skillet, cook pork sausage together with finely chopped onions on medium heat until the sausage is cooked through and is no longer pink.
Add shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and broccoli florets (steamed or cooked and drained) to the sausage mixture and mix them in. Add hash browns and mix them in.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, and black pepper.
Use 2.8 L (3 quarts) rectangular baking dish - 11 inches long x 8.5 inches wide x 3 inches deep. Brush the bottom and the sides of the baking pan with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
Add half the sausage mixture to the baking pan, and pour half of the egg mixture over the sausage mixture, carefully and evenly. Add the remaining half of the sausage mixture on top, and pour the remaining half of the egg mixture evenly over the sausage mixture.
Bake, uncovered for about 40-50 minutes. The casserole is ready when the eggs are set and no longer liquid in the center. Let the dish cool for about 30 minutes before slicing it.

Will this delicious looking recipe work in a 9x11 glass pyrex pan/
Thinking it would be eaier to serve for this event.Reply

Yes, you can use a 9 x 11-inch baking dish as long as it's high-sided (about 3 inches tall).

Excellent with some modifications 🙂 I used toasted leftover oven roasted broccoli that had been tossed in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper and roasted in oven at 400 until slightly crisp (approx 40 mins) then also cooked my hashbrowns until slightly crisp in oven at 400 for approx 35 mins. I also added salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder and smoked paprika to season. It was delicious!

Can you prepare thus casserole the night before and bake it the next morning?
Reply
- Julia
Sabrina, I wouldn't do that. But what you can do is to bake the casserole the day before, refrigerate it, and reheat it the next day. It keeps really well refrigerated!

NO mention of salt at all in this recipie - only pepper. That commenter is right im sure it would be bland without salt.

My family absolutely loves this dish!!!! I line my baking dish with parchment paper so I don’t have the added calories of the butter. I also use Jimmy Deans hot pork sausage and add a tablespoon of my Trader Joe’s everyday seasoning to the egg mixture. It is absolutely delicious!!!!!

I’ve made this twice and it’s fantastic. I’m wondering how it would turn out with milk instead of cream (as I’m making this at a vacation house and trying to bring as few grocery items as possible). I’m sure it wouldn’t be as good, but would it be totally ruined?

I made it with almond milk last night as my husband is lactose intolerant. It was delish! I also subbed the hashbrowns for rice. Very good, very versatile recipe. Thank you!

Lesley, thank you so much for such helpful feedback! So good to know this recipe worked with almond milk. Glad you enjoyed the recipe! 🙂

Can you mix it up the night before and keep in the fridge until you bake it in the morning?
Reply
- Julia
Crystal, I wouldn't do it for food safety reasons and I also think it will affect the texture in a negative way.

It’s bland...need to add more salt. The food is presentable but taste wise is just bland...def need to add more salt or more spices so the food has the taste.

Has anyone tried freezing this?
Would it be best to freeze raw, partial bake, or bake it completely and just reheat after its thawed?Reply
- Elizabeth B
I haven't tried freezing this casserole, but other breakfast casseroles I've frozen have worked just fine to bake it completely before freezing. I would worry about freezing it raw because it would be more likely to grow bacteria while thawing. A partial bake before freezing would probably be just fine, too, especially if you think it might dry out when reheated, but I think with eggs it will be best to bake it as much as you are comfortable with before freezing.

This was delicious! I substituted almond milk for the cream and used torn up Morningstar veggie sausages. It turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!

Wow what a great easy to follow recipe! During quarantine I'm finding myself cooking more to preserve health and also met with the challenge of not always having ingredients on hand. That being said I had a head of broccoli and happened to have frozen hash browns already in freezer. I made a few adaptations - I put @ 60% of the potatoes in the pan and pre-cooked in oven to form a 'crust'. Since I'm vegetarian I used FieldRoast sausage and added it at the end of cooking the onions. I also added more egg...cuz I like an egg-ier casserole. It turned out great - thank you!

I would like to cook in a crock pot while we are at Mass on Eater morning. How long would you recommend cooking this using a crock pot? 2.5 hours on low?

Love this! I use turkey sausage and skip the onions. Roasted the broccoli. A delicious dish. Can you confirm the calorie count? Seems high with 10 servings.
