Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the pork sausage and diced bacon. Cook until both are browned and crispy, about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drain any excess fat, then set the cooked meats aside on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any remaining grease.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
- Gradually add whole milk, large eggs, dry ranch seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing well until fully incorporated.
- Fold the cooked meats into the egg mixture, then gently stir in the thawed and drained hash browns and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly, and top with remaining cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 50–60 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 8–10 minutes.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before cutting into portions and serving warm.
