  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (30-ounce/850g) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and drained
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions


  • Cook the Meats:
    • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage and chopped bacon together until fully cooked and no longer pink.
    • Drain the excess fat and set the meat aside.
  • Prepare the Egg Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to blend the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
    • Add the whole milk, eggs, dry ranch seasoning mix, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Combine Ingredients:
    • Stir the cooked sausage and bacon, thawed hash browns, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
  • Assemble the Casserole:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Lightly grease a 9×13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish with cooking spray.
    • Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
    • Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Bake:
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and beginning to brown.
  • Serve:
    • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
    • Slice into squares and enjoy!
