Ingredients
Scale
For the Meatloaf
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 cup frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
For the Topping
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan with cooking spray or a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Meatloaf Ingredients – In a large bowl, combine the breakfast sausage, thawed hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, 4 eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix until everything is evenly combined.
- Shape and Bake – Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Press it down into an even layer and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the top is golden brown.
- Prepare the Scrambled Eggs – While the meatloaf is baking, whisk together the remaining 2 eggs with the milk in a small bowl. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, pour in the egg mixture, and gently scramble until just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Let Meatloaf Rest – Once fully baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices settle and makes slicing easier.
- Slice and Serve – Slice the meatloaf and serve on plates, topped with some scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy your hearty breakfast!
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier breakfast, try using spicy breakfast sausage or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese, like pepper jack or Swiss.
- This meatloaf is perfect for meal prep; store slices in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat as needed.
- For a complete breakfast platter, serve with toast or a simple fruit salad on the side.
