Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish
  • Cooking spray
  • Large skillet
  • stovetop
  • Spatula
  • large mixing bowl
  • whisk

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground pork sausage (mild, hot, or a combination)
  • 1 30-ounce package frozen hash browns (thawed, drained)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
  • 4 green onions (chopped, divided)
  • 2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk of choice (see Notes)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Lightly grease 9x13 baking dish, then set dish aside.
  • Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, add 2 pounds ground pork sausage. Cook until sausage is crumbled and no longer pink.
  • Drain liquid from skillet. Add hash browns, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 chopped green onions, and 1 cup shredded cheddar to skillet. Stir until ingredients are thoroughly combined, then transfer mixture to greased baking dish. Set skillet aside.
  • Crack eggs directly into large mixing bowl. Add 2 cups milk, ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Whisk ingredients together until mixture is pale yellow and no longer streaky.
  • Pour egg mixture into baking dish, covering sausage mixture evenly. Spread remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar evenly over top of egg mixture.

  • Place baking dish in preheated oven. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until eggs are set and cheese is melted.
  • Remove baking dish from oven. Let casserole sit 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, sprinkle remaining chopped onions over top of casserole to garnish, then slice casserole into 12 squares and serve warm with desired sides.

Recipe Notes

  • Sausage: You can make your own sausage at home if you prefer. Use my recipe for Whole30 Breakfast Sausage - it's also gluten free, paleo, and sugar free.
  • Salt: If your ingredients contain any added salt or salt substitutes, you'll want to use less than the amount of added salt called for in this recipe.
  • Make it Gluten Free: If you're new to GF cooking, double check that your ingredients are all actually gluten free - especially the sausage and the hashbrowns. Look for "gluten free" or "certified gluten free" labels if you're unsure or concerned about potential cross-contamination.
  • Make it Dairy Free: Use a non-dairy milk and a plant-based cheese.
  • Make it Vegetarian: Omit the sausage or use a plant-based sausage substitute.
