Sausage, Egg, and Cream Cheese Hashbrown Casserole

Introduction

There’s a reason Sausage, Egg, and Cream Cheese Hashbrown Casserole is a breakfast superstar: it blends crispy potatoes, savory sausage, and the creamy richness of cheese and eggs into one effortless bake. Perfect for feeding a crowd or prepping ahead for weekday breakfasts, this casserole hits the ultimate comfort food spot while being unfussy and endlessly adaptable.

The Secret to an Irresistible Breakfast Casserole

This casserole stands out because every element is thoughtfully layered: golden hashbrowns crisp up beautifully; eggs and cream cheese meld into a custardy, flavorful base; and sausage provides that craveable, hearty bite. With each forkful, you’ll enjoy a satisfying contrast of textures and just the right amount of savory depth making it a real crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients That Guarantee Flavor

For the best results, use high-quality breakfast sausage and a mix of cheeses—cream cheese for softness and sharp cheddar for bold flavor. Frozen or freshly shredded hashbrowns both work; just be sure to season generously so every bite pops. To chop onions or peppers with ease (optional but recommended for an extra flavor kick), try the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for perfectly uniform pieces.

Preparing and Layering the Casserole

Begin by browning your sausage in a nonstick skillet such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch. Crumble the sausage finely using a Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher for an even texture. Mix softened cream cheese with the hot sausage for a rich, savory base.

Lay hashbrowns evenly in your prepared casserole dish. Evenness is key—an Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display ensures just the right potato-to-egg ratio. Pour the egg mixture over, then layer on the sausage-cream cheese blend, finishing with shredded cheddar.

Baking and Serving Tips

Bake until set and golden, covering the dish with a sheet from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for the first half of baking to prevent over-browning, then remove to finish. Let the casserole rest for several minutes before slicing—this helps set the layers for clean cuts.

Serve hot out of the oven, or cool completely and portion into Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for easy reheating all week. This make-ahead wonder keeps its flavor and texture, making breakfast a breeze.
