Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease, then stir in the cream cheese until melted and creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread the hashbrowns evenly across the bottom.
Spoon the sausage and cream cheese mixture over the top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything.
Step 4: Bake
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions or bell peppers if desired. Serve and enjoy!
