Ingredients

• 20 oz Frozen hash browns
• 1 lb Ground breakfast sausage
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tbsp Butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it up into small crumbles, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

Spread the frozen hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns layer, followed by 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese for topping later.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash brown, sausage, and cheese layers in the baking dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
