Sausage Egg Cream Cheese Bake (Printable Version)

Golden hashbrowns, savory sausage, creamy cheese, and fluffy eggs come together for a crowd-pleasing breakfast bake.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 1/2 cup milk
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 8 large eggs
05 - 30 ounces frozen shredded hash browns
06 - 1 pound breakfast sausage

→ Seasonings

07 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 1 teaspoon salt

→ Garnish

11 - 2 green onions, chopped (you can skip these)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Let everything chill for 5 minutes, then pop on those green onions if you'd like. Just cut pieces and dig in.
02 - Throw it in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the middle doesn't jiggle.
03 - Dump your mixture into the baking dish you greased earlier. Make sure it's spread to every edge.
04 - Take the cooked sausage, hash browns, and cheddar, mix them all into your bowl with the eggs. Get it all mixed without missing a spot.
05 - Set your oven to 375 F, spray or rub oil over your 9x13-inch dish so it doesn't stick.
06 - Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it up while you cook and dump any extra grease.
07 - Grab a big bowl and whisk together the eggs, milk, that creamy cheese, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. Whisk until it looks smooth.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Make sure your cream cheese is totally soft or you'll end up with lumps.
02 - Let your casserole rest a bit before you go slicing. It helps hold together way better.
