Kev Tip

Pat the hashbrowns dry. This is the difference between crispy edges and a watery casserole.

Make It Fit Your Macros Leaner: use turkey sausage and half egg whites.
More volume: add peppers, spinach, onions, or mushrooms.
Higher carb: serve with fruit or toast.

Meal Prep Notes Store up to 4 days in the fridge or freeze individual slices. Reheat in the air fryer for the best texture.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. 2Thaw hashbrowns and pat very dry with paper towels.
3. 3Layer hashbrowns into the baking dish.
4. 4Add cooked sausage or turkey over the hashbrowns.
5. 5Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese over the sausage layer.
6. 6Whisk eggs, evaporated milk or milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
7. 7Pour egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
8. 8Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
9. 9Bake 45–55 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden.
10. 10Cool 10 minutes, slice, and serve.

Breakfast Notes

Macro note. Macros are based on the classic sausage + cheddar version, baked in a 9x13 and cut into 8 slices.

Best brunch move. Bake until the center is fully set, then rest 10 minutes before slicing so the pieces hold together.

Freezer move. Wrap slices individually and freeze. Reheat from thawed for best texture.
