Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) pork sausage
  • 1 pound (450g) bacon, chopped
  • 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120g) sour cream
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (30-ounce/850g) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and drained
  • 1 (1-ounce/28g) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork sausage and chopped bacon until browned and fully cooked. Drain the excess fat and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  3. Add the milk, eggs, ranch seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in the cooked sausage, bacon, thawed hash browns, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until everything is evenly incorporated.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish.
  6. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 50-60 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature to prevent lumps. Consider sautéing bell peppers or onions with the sausage and bacon for added flavor.
