Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 15 oz frozen shredded hash browns
- kosher salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend recommended)
- Optional: chives, hot sauce of choice, sour cream, salsa
Instructions
- Set a large skillet over medium heat and once hot, add the breakfast sausage. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring and breaking apart with a spatula. Once cooked, remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Add 3 tablespoons of the butter to the same skillet over medium heat and add the hash browns, kosher salt, and pepper. Cook for 9 to 11 minutes, stirring a few times and pressing the hash browns into the skillet.
