So it is easy to enjoy cooking in our luxurious apartments, and that includes cooking the most important meal of the day: breakfast. A breakfast casserole is a convenient one-dish meal that combines multiple popular breakfast foods.
Here is the recipe for a hash brown and egg casserole:

• Ingredients:

• 1 two-pound package of frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed

• 1 pound pork sausage (turkey sausage can be used as a healthier alternative)

• 1 small onion, diced

• 5 eggs

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/8 teaspoon garlic

• 12 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

• Place the hash browns in the bottom of the baking dish

• Cook the sausage and onion in a skillet over medium heat until the meat is browned; drain the grease

• Whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper

• Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes

• Layer 6 ounces of the cheese over the egg mixture

• Layer the sausage and onions on top of the mixture in the baking dish, then cover with the remaining cheese and cover the dish with aluminum foil

• Bake for one hour. Remove the aluminum foil and return the dish to the oven. Bake approximately 10 more minutes or until a knife inserted into the casserole comes out clean.

• Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
