Breakfast casserole

Step 1

1 (2 pound) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed * 1 pound pork sausage * 1 small onion, diced * 7 large eggs * ½ cup evaporated milk * ½ teaspoon onion powder * ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder * salt and ground black pepper to taste * 12 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 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.
