Loaded Hash Brown Breakfast Bowls with Sausage & Egg combine crispy shredded potatoes, savory sausage, melted cheese, and tender eggs in a hearty bowl perfect for brunch or meal prep.
4 cups shredded hash browns, fresh or thawed frozen
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
12 ounces ground breakfast sausage
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
4 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Pinch smoked paprika
Optional toppings: sliced avocado, salsa, sour cream
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil or butter.
Spread shredded hash browns in an even layer and cook undisturbed until golden brown on the bottom.
Flip and cook until both sides are crisp. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, cook ground sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart until fully browned.
Add diced onion and bell pepper to the sausage and cook until softened.
In a separate pan, cook eggs to desired doneness.
Divide hash browns among four bowls.
Spoon sausage and vegetable mixture over the potatoes.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Place a cooked egg on each bowl and garnish with green onions and optional toppings.
Remove excess moisture from potatoes for crisp texture. Cook hash browns in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Reheat leftovers in a skillet to maintain texture.
