Ingredients

1 (2 pound) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 pound pork sausage
1 small onion, diced
5 eggs eggs
0.5 cup milk
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
0.13 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
12 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Gather all of your ingredients for the breakfast casserole.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan with deep sides. Add the hash brown potatoes, spreading them in an even layer.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage and onion. Stir and cook until the sausage is browned and crumbled, approximately 10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash browns in the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the Cheddar cheese over the top.
Evenly distribute the sausage mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese on top. Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes more.
Allow the breakfast casserole to stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
