    How to Make Sausage Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole

    Step 1: Cook the Sausage

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    Add the oil to a medium skillet over medium high heat. Brown and crumble the sausage for 5 - 7 minutes. Drain and set aside. 

    Step 2: Whisk the eggs

    Step 5: Bake

    Bake the casserole for 40 minutes and then loosely cover it with foil (to prevent browning) and bake for 15 - 20 minutes more, until cooked through. To test for doneness, a fork poked into the middle of the casserole should come out dry (with no wet egg on it). 

    Step 6: Cool & serve

    Cool for 5 - 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley.

      I've made a lot of egg casseroles, and this one was by far the best! I added cooked spinach this time for additional nutrients, but there is probably so many veggies you can add in addition to what's on this list. Delicious!
