Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 16 ounces frozen hash browns
• 8 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 small onion
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coat of olive oil.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the small diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the sausage with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked—about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.

Step 4

Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns. Then, evenly distribute the cooked sausage and onions over the cheese layer.

Step 7

Pour the whisked egg mixture over the sausage and hash browns, ensuring it spreads evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 10

Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy!
