Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 12
Yield: 1 (9×13-inch) casserole

Ingredients

  • 1 (16-ounce) package bulk pork sausage
  • 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 (16-ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles as it browns, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Add the thawed hash browns to the skillet with the sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to brown and develop a little crispness, about 5 minutes.
  4. Separate the biscuit dough and split each biscuit in half horizontally. Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a complete layer.
  5. Spoon the sausage and hash brown mixture evenly over the biscuit layer.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the sausage mixture.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden.
  9. Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Chefs Notes

  • Add diced bell peppers, onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor and color.
  • Swap the pork sausage for turkey sausage or bacon if preferred.
  • For a richer casserole, increase the cheese to 2 cups.
  • This casserole can be assembled the night before, covered, and refrigerated until ready to bake.
  • Serve with fresh fruit, orange juice, or coffee for a complete breakfast spread.
