Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
  • 1 package 30 ounces frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 1 can 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup

  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage with diced onion, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until sausage is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, then drain.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring until smooth.
  4. Add thawed hash browns, cooked sausage mixture, and 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the soup mixture, stirring until everything is evenly combined.
  5. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving, then garnish with sliced green onions.
