Ingredients

• 32 oz frozen hash browns
• 1 lb breakfast sausage
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp butter or cooking spray
• 2 tbsp green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into crumbles with a spatula as it cooks. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.

Step 4

Add the frozen hash browns, cooked sausage, and 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center. You can check by inserting a knife or toothpick; it should come out clean.

Step 8

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
