Ingredients

• 1 pound Breakfast sausage
• 4 cups Frozen hash browns
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Step 3

Using the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, cooked sausage, sautéed onions and garlic, and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling and golden brown on top.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
