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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spoon the sausage and hash brown mixture evenly over the biscuit layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the sausage mixture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden.
- 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.
