Step 1

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

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

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash brown mixture in the baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
