How to Make A Cozy Sausage and Potatoes Casserole

Gather these Ingredients:

• 1 lb breakfast sausage
• 1 package of diced frozen hash browns (about 32 oz)
• 1 can of cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
• 1 cup of whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste
• Garlic powder, to taste
• 2 cups of shredded Colby blend cheese

Kitchen Tools Needed:

• Dutch oven or any large, oven-safe pot with a lid
• Large spoon or spatula for mixing
• Measuring cups and spoons

Step By Step Instructions:

Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350º

Brown the Sausage

In your Dutch oven, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until it is thoroughly browned. Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks to ensure it blends well with the other ingredients.

Mix Sausage and Potatoes

Leave or drain any excess fat from the sausage. Add the frozen diced hash browns to the pot with the sausage. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and whole milk, mixing until everything is well combined. This makes for a creamy base for the potatoes and sausage and will thicken while it cooks! You can also use cream of chicken if you don’t have cream of mushroom.

Season the mixture with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference for a personalized touch.

Bake the Casserole

Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and place it in the preheated oven. Bake the casserole for 1 hour at 350º. I love cooking in the my dutch oven for the recipe because the slow cooking process allows the potatoes to cook through to become nice and tender.

Add the Cheese

After the casserole has cooked, take it out of the oven and sprinkle the shredded Colby blend cheese evenly over the top. The heat from the casserole will melt the cheese, creating a gooey, cheesy layer that adds a perfect finishing touch to the dish.

Let It Rest

Let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes after adding the cheese. This resting time allows the cheese to melt fully and the casserole to set!
