Ingredients

1 (2 pound) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed

1 pound pork sausage

1 small onion, diced

5 eggs

½ cup milk

½ teaspoon onion powder

⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

salt and ground black pepper to taste

12 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan; add hash brown potatoes and arrange in an even layer.

Place sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until the sausage is browned and crumbled, about 10 minutes; drain.

Meanwhile, whisk eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined.

Pour over the potatoes and sprinkle with 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese.

Add sausage mixture on top and sprinkle with remaining Cheddar. Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove foil; return casserole to the oven and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
