Ingredients
  

1 pound sausage (breakfast or Italian, your choice)

30 oz frozen hashbrowns (about 2 bags, shredded)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup diced bell peppers (mix of colors for visual appeal)

1 medium onion, diced

8 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until it is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the grease in the skillet.

      Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet with the sausage grease, add olive oil if necessary. Add the diced onion and bell peppers and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

        Prepare the hashbrown base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hashbrowns with the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

          Combine egg mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.

            Assemble the casserole: In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer the hashbrown mixture evenly. Pour the egg mixture over the top, making sure it's evenly distributed. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

                Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before slicing into squares and serving.
