Ingredients:

• 1 pound of breakfast sausage
• 1 (30 ounce) bag of frozen hash browns, thawed
• 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 12 large eggs
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a 9×13 baking dish.
2. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned and cooked through, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until they are soft and fragrant.
4. In the prepared baking dish, layer the thawed hash browns, cooked sausage, cooked onion and bell pepper, and the cheeses.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Pour this egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish.
6. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set.
7. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Optional garnishes can include green onions, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream.
