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
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Brown the sausage.
- 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.
- 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.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and fully cooked and the onions are softened, about 8–10 minutes.
Whisk the eggs.
- In a large bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half until smooth.
Mix in the hash browns and cheese.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake covered.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 35–40 minutes.
Bake uncovered.
- 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.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
