Pioneer Woman Breakfast Casserole

Print Recipe

A hearty, cheesy breakfast casserole packed with sausage, eggs, and veggies, perfect for weekend brunches and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 6 green onions, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce (optional)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 (30 ounce) package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage, red bell pepper, and the light parts of the green onions over medium-high heat until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Tabasco (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Stir in half of the green onion tops and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Fold in the thawed hash browns along with the sautéed sausage mixture.
  6. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 50 minutes.
  8. After 50 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle on the remaining cheese, and increase the oven temperature to 400°F. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is golden brown.
  9. Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with the remaining green onion tops.

Notes

For added crunch, try topping with crispy fried onions. You can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
