Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 4 Tbs. butter (1/2 stick)
  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns (or 16 oz.)
  • 1½ tsp. garlic salt
  • ¾ tsp. onion powder
  • 1¾ cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 slices pepper jack cheese (2 oz. total), torn into pieces
  • 5 eggs
  • 1⅔ cup milk
Instructions
  1. Brown the pork sausage and drain off the grease.
  2. Begin frying the bacon.
  3. Melt 4 Tablespoons of butter in a pan. Place your frozen hash browns in the pan, sprinkle on the garlic salt & onion powder, and fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes. When you see the edges turning brown, flip the hash browns over and cook for about 10-12 minutes longer until they are nicely browned with crispy edges. Set aside.
  4. Drain bacon once cooked to your liking.
  5. In a large bowl, mix together the hash browns and sausage. Place half of the mixture into a buttered 9" x 13" pan. Sprinkle on half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Layer the other half of the hash browns and sausage. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and then the pepper jack cheese.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour evenly over the casserole.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 35- 40 minutes or until nicely browned and the eggs are set.
  8. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before diving in.
