How to Make Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole
First, you will layer the hash browns, sausage, peppers, onions, seasonings, and cheese in your oven-safe dish. Next, you will pour the beaten eggs over all the layered ingredients. Finally, you’ll bake the casserole to a nice golden brown.
Most noteworthy, this casserole does not have a can of cream of chicken (or mushroom, or anything) soup! Yay!
Recipe Notes and Ingredient Substitutions
- You can use shredded Hash Brown potatoes for this recipe or diced hashbrowns.
- I used sausage, but bacon or ham would be equally good in this recipe. If you don’t care for cheese, you can make my recipe for this sausage hashbrown casserole instead.
- You may want to turn this into a dinner casserole meal by using ground beef. Now, that would be good!
- I baked my casserole in a 10-inch pie pan. You can bake it in a round pan, square pan, or oblong pan. As long as your hashbrowns are approximately 1 and 1/2 inch thick, your cook time will be the same. The center be ‘set’ not jiggly and the cheese to be melted when done.
