Step-by-Step Instructions for Crack Breakfast Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the beef sausage and bacon. Cook until both are thoroughly browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Once cooked, drain the excess grease from the skillet, then add your diced bell peppers and spinach, sautéing them for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Press the thawed shredded hash browns firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with whole milk, cream cheese, and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the ranch seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Layer your cooked meats, sautéed bell peppers, and spinach evenly over the hash brown base.
- Sprinkle 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
- Finish by topping with the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 25-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
