I struggle to find the time I need to cook. So, today I'm sharing a very easy, tasty recipe packed full of protein and complex carbohydrates that can either feed a bunch of hungry bellies in one sitting or allow you to easily freeze extra portions for future meals.

Prep Time

15 minutes or however fast you can brown your meat and dump everything in the pan.

Bake Time

30 minutes at 350 degrees until the casserole doesn't jiggle because of raw eggs.

Ingredients

1 pound of sausage (pork or turkey)
1 pack of hashbrowns (30 oz)
1 pack of cheddar cheese (8 oz)
1 dozen eggs
1/4 teaspoon of salt

Literally, everything in this photo is used. 😁 No need to measure. Just layer them all in a pan and bake!

Hashbrown Casserole Recipe

Preheat oven to 350.

Brown sausage

I used pork sausage. However, if you want to go leaner, use turkey sausage.

Soften the frozen hashbrowns

Add about 1/4 cup of water and cook hashbrowns just long enough to soften them. My sister-in-law doesn't even soften them...she places the frozen hashbrowns in pan... extending the bake time by about 5 minutes.

Put hashbrown in 13 x 9 in baking pan

Place cooked sausage on top of hashbrowns

Mix 12 eggs and 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Evenly distribute eggs on top of sausage

Pour the entire bag of cheddar cheese on top

Place in oven and bake for 35 minutes (or until cheese is brown and eggs are cooked)

Poke it and see if the eggs are cooked.

Cut into squares

Add your favorite hot sauce or salsa

Freeze extra squares for future meals

I'll move what I need to the refrigerator the night before... or I can just microwave it a little bit longer the next day.

This particular post required lots of photos. Photos can slow down the load time of posts. So, I'm going to share 2 previous posts on how I resized and compressed the photos I used.
