Ingredients

  • 1 pound turkey sausage crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 30 ounces frozen hash browns thawed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the turkey sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the turkey sausage until it’s browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed and set aside.
  • Mix the creamy base: In a large bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and milk until smooth. Add the eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk again until everything is well combined.
  • Add the hashbrowns and cheese: Stir the thawed hashbrowns, cooked sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese into the creamy egg mixture. Make sure everything is evenly incorporated.
  • Transfer to the baking dish: Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  • Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the middle. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Optional garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh, vibrant finish.
  • Let it cool slightly before serving to allow the casserole to set and make it easier to slice.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish
  • Large Bowl

Notes

  • Use fully thawed hashbrowns to prevent excess moisture and sogginess.
  • Softened cream cheese blends more smoothly for a creamy texture without lumps.
  • Watch the casserole near the end of baking to avoid overbaking and drying out.
  • Make ahead by assembling the night before and refrigerate; add extra bake time if baking cold.
  • Customize by adding veggies, different cheeses, or spices for variety.
