Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns
  • 1/2 pound ground sausage
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar and/or mozzarella)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking. This will help the muffins release easily and crisp up nicely.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground sausage until fully cooked and slightly crispy on the edges. Drain any excess fat to avoid greasy muffins.
  3. Mix the Muffin Batter: In a large bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, cooked sausage, eggs, shredded cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing down slightly to compact the ingredients. This helps the muffins hold their shape once baked.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and fully set inside. Use a toothpick to check—if it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  6. Cool and Remove: Allow the muffins to cool for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Cooling helps the muffins firm up and makes them easier to handle.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly thawed hash browns for less moisture and crispier muffins.
  • Don’t overfill the muffin cups; leave space for expansion and a neat rise.
  • Choose high-quality or freshly ground sausage for best flavor.
  • Consider sprinkling extra cheese on top halfway through baking for a bubbly golden crust.
  • Silicone muffin pans can help with easy removal and reduce sticking.
