½ cup chopped green onions (or white onion)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
2 cups frozen hash browns or tater tots (optional, for a heartier version)
Butter or oil for greasing the dish

Fresh parsley or chives
Crushed red pepper flakes

Tools You’ll Need
Large skillet
Mixing bowl
Whisk or hand mixer
9×13-inch baking dish
Spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or oil.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage until browned and fully cooked.
Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Mix the Cream Cheese Base
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Add softened cream cheese and whisk or beat until mostly smooth (a few small bits are okay).
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and green onions.

Step 4: Combine & Assemble
Fold the cooked turkey sausage and shredded cheddar into the cream cheese mixture.
If using hash browns or tater tots, layer them in the greased dish first, then pour the egg mixture over the top.
Spread evenly and sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired.

Step 5: Bake
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden and bubbling.
Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Creamy Sausage Casserole
Soften the Cream Cheese – Makes mixing easier and smoother
Use Sharp Cheddar – Adds bold flavor to balance the creaminess
Add Veggies – Bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms work great
Customize the Base – Swap hash browns for bread cubes or omit for a low-carb version
Let It Rest – This helps it slice cleanly and hold together better

Serving Suggestions
Serve with:
A side of fruit salad or a light green salad
Buttered toast or biscuits
Hot sauce or salsa for a spicy kick
Coffee or orange juice for a complete brunch

How to Store & Reheat
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days
Reheat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes or in the oven at 325°F until warmed through
Freeze in individual portions for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating
