Baked Sausage Breakfast Hash
A hearty and delicious one-pan meal that’s perfect for a weekend breakfast or a cozy brunch. This recipe combines savory sausage with tender potatoes, onions, and bell peppers, all baked together for a minimal-effort, maximum-flavor dish.
Recipe Tips and Options
- Vegetable Variations: Feel free to swap or add other vegetables. Diced sweet potatoes, butternut squash, or mushrooms work wonderfully. For a touch of green, you can stir in some chopped kale or spinach during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Protein Power: This recipe is great with breakfast sausage, but you can easily use Italian sausage, chorizo, or even bacon. For a vegetarian option, use plant-based sausage or substitute with chickpeas or black beans.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick of heat. Smoked paprika or a dash of cayenne can also enhance the flavor profile.
- Make it a Meal: Crack a few eggs directly into the hash during the last 10 minutes of baking. The eggs will cook to perfection, creating a complete breakfast skillet.
- Serving Suggestions: Top with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese right before serving adds extra richness.

minutesIngredients
1 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled
1.5 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
1 large onion, chopped
1 large bell pepper (any color), chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
- Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a large baking sheet or a 9x13 inch baking dish in the oven as it preheats. This helps the ingredients to start crisping immediately.
- Cook the Sausage: While the oven heats, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
- Toss the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and chopped bell pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Season the Hash: Add the paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl of vegetables. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated with the seasonings.
- Bake the Vegetables: Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Spread the seasoned vegetables in an even layer on the hot sheet. Place the sheet back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Add the Sausage: After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Stir the vegetables and then add the cooked sausage, spreading it out evenly.
- Final Bake: Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
Notes
- Serve: Remove the hash from the oven and serve hot.
