Ingredients

1 (2 pound) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 pound pork sausage
1 small onion, diced
5 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
12 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a deep-sided 8x8-inch square pan; add hash brown potatoes and arrange in an even layer.
3 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.
4 Meanwhile, whisk eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined.
5 Pour over the potatoes and sprinkle with 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese.
6 Add sausage mixture on top and sprinkle with remaining Cheddar. Cover with aluminum foil.
7 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.
8 Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
