At the Cabin Casserole–Instant Pot or Crockpot egg, sausage and hashbrown casserole. An easy recipe with only a handful of ingredients.
At the Cabin Casserole
This summer we’ve been spending a ton of time at our cabin. It has been so much fun. One thing about cooking at the cabin (or when we stay at a rental) is I like to cook with minimal amount of ingredients. That way I don’t have to haul up or buy a bunch of ingredients. This recipe is perfect for the cabin because it only has 7 ingredients (2 of which are salt and pepper). It is perfect for a hearty breakfast after a morning hike, bike or run. You can also serve it as breakfast for dinner. You can make it in your slow cooker or crockpot.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Precooked sausage patties–I buy the brown and serve patties in the frozen foods section
- Frozen hashbrowns–or frozen o’brien potatoes
- Eggs
- Milk
- Salt–or garlic salt
- Pepper
- Shredded cheese–whatever kind you like. I used a mexican cheese blend.
Steps
Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. Brown the patties for about 3 minutes on each side. Cut the patties into 4 pieces each.
Add the hashbrowns into the Instant Pot. Stir in the sausage pieces. Turn off Instant Pot.
In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the hashbrowns.
Cover Instant Pot and turn it to the slow cooker high setting for 75 minutes. When time is up remove the lid. Sprinkle the cheese on top and cook for 10 more minutes until cheese is melted.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes/Tips
- Serve with fresh fruit like peaches, strawberries and blueberries.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
- You can easily double or halve this recipe. When you double the recipe you may need to increase the cooking time to 2 hours on high.
- This recipe is gluten free. Just make sure your hashbrowns are labeled as such.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Other recipes you can make with frozen hashbrowns are Glorified Hashbrowns and Tennessee Hashbrown Casserole.

I’m planning to make this at the cabin tonight. How long would I cook it on low in a regular crock pot? Love so many of your recipes! Thank you.
Depending on your slow cooker it might be a different time but I’d say 4 hours on low.
I’m making mine now. it has been cooking for 75 minutes in a crockpot. it has not set. could it be the sausage. I browned a pound of breakfast sausage and added it.
Maybe?? I would just cook until set a few more minutes.
can I use fresh hash browns instead of Frozen?
Yep! Perhaps the cooking time will be a little less though.
I’m cooking this now and I’m worried that 6 eggs isn’t enough so just double checking 6 eggs is right
yes that’s correct
75 minutes? First remove the battery from the Smoke Alarm?
Only 2-4 hours in the Slow Cooker., which would be my prefference in any case.
Do the times need reviewing?
Hi James, for the Instant Pot we are using the “slow cooker” setting so it does need the 75 minutes. This recipe is not pressure cooked.
Aah! Maybe I should have read the entire post :-). When all else fails, read the instructions.
I use the IP in Slow Cooker mode sometimes particularly if I have to simmer something for a long time. It is a little ‘HOT’ for an actual Slow Cooker..
The cholesterol is 109% in this recipe? Really? I’m wondering if this is a typo?
Nope, not a typo. Eggs have 187 mg of cholesterol in each large egg. According to the internet, “Yes, eggs do indeed contain some cholesterol. Specifically, egg yolks are high in cholesterol and a significant source of dietary cholesterol. However, evidence suggests that eggs have an extremely minor effect on your blood cholesterol levels.”
