Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
  • ½ cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 packet Sazon seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Badia Complete Seasoning
  • 8 large eggs room temperature
  • ¾ cup half-and-half
  • 1 30-ounce package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 1 cup shredded Muenster cheese or cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar mozzarella, or Mexican blend cheese, divided
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Brown the sausage.
  1. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and Italian sausage, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Add the onion and seasonings.
  1. Make a small well in the center of the skillet and add the chopped onion. Sprinkle the onion with the Sazon seasoning and Badia Complete Seasoning.
  2. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and fully cooked and the onions are softened, about 8–10 minutes.
Whisk the eggs.
  1. In a large bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half until smooth.
Mix in the hash browns and cheese.
  1. Add the thawed hash browns, Muenster cheese, and ½ cup of the shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese. Stir until well combined.
Combine in the skillet.
  1. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the hash brown mixture directly into the skillet with the cooked sausage and onions. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
Top with cheese.
  1. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake covered.
  1. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 35–40 minutes.
Bake uncovered.
  1. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the center is set and the cheese is lightly golden.
Rest and serve.
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley and let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
