Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 20 ounces frozen shredded hash browns
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 medium onion
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and finely dice the onion. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked sausage, sautéed onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy!
