Ingredients

• 12 pieces breakfast sausage links
• 3 cups frozen hash browns
• 6 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 cups half-and-half cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly, then slice each sausage into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half cream, salt, black pepper, and onion powder until well combined.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hash browns, followed by the sliced sausage links.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash browns and sausage. Use a spatula to ensure the liquid spreads evenly across the dish.

Step 7

Top the casserole with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Sunrise Breakfast Sausage Links Easter Casserole!
