Ingredients

2 lb bag of frozen southern style/diced hash browns
1 lb breakfast sausage, browned
15 oz can of Country Sausage Gravy
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
6 eggs, whisked
2 cups crushed corn flakes
4 tbsp melted butter

Make Cheesy Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole

To start making this recipe, brown 1 lb of breakfast sausage in a skillet. Drain all of the grease when the sausage is fully cooked.

First, spray a 9×13 smoker safe dish with cooking spray.

Next, combine diced hash browns, browned sausage, a 15 oz can of country sausage gravy, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and season well with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Stir everything together well and whisk together 6 eggs. Pour the eggs over the other ingredients in the pan.

After pouring the eggs over the casserole, top with 1 more cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Crush about 2 cups of corn flakes and stir them together with 4 tbsp of melted butter.

Lastly, pour the corn flakes over the breakfast casserole.

Smoke at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees F in an oven for about an hour or until potatoes are cooked through and tender.

Serve Breakfast Casserole

Once the potatoes are tender and the eggs are fully cooked, it’s time to eat! I like to serve this casserole with ketchup or hot sauce on the side. Enjoy!
