How to Make Sausage Hash Brown Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  3. In a large skillet, cook 1 lb Italian sausage (or 1 lb ground beef) over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of potato soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  5. Stir in 1 medium onion, chopped, 4 cups thawed small diced hash browns (not shredded), and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Spread half of the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Top with the cooked sausage.
  8. Spoon the remaining hash brown mixture over the sausage.
  9. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top and bake for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
