- 1 (30 oz) package frozen hashbrowns
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk

Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled.

3. Mix the Casserole Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Cooked sausage
- Frozen hashbrowns

Spread evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden and slightly crispy.
