Creating your own Crack Breakfast Casserole can be a fun and simple task when following these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Layer the Hash Browns: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom.
5. Add the Sausage: Layer the cooked sausage over the hash browns, ensuring an even distribution.
6. Pour the Egg Mixture: Slowly pour the egg mixture over the sausage and hash browns, making sure it’s evenly coated.
7. Sprinkle Cheese: Top the mixture with shredded cheddar cheese, covering it well.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting.
10. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh chives or parsley before serving.
These simple steps will guide you to create the ultimate breakfast casserole with minimal fuss and maximum flavor.
