Ingredients
  

1 lb breakfast sausage (your choice of mild or spicy)

4 cups frozen hashbrowns, thoroughly thawed

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it liberally with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

    Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat over medium flame. Add the breakfast sausage, crumbling it as you cook. Sauté until it is fully browned and cooked through, ensuring it is broken into small pieces. Drain any excess grease from the skillet to keep the dish light and fluffy.

      Combine Hashbrowns and Cheeses: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the thawed hashbrowns, the cooked sausage, along with the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully integrated and coated in cheesy goodness.

        Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

          Mix Everything Together: Add the egg mixture to the hashbrown and sausage mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly to ensure that all ingredients are well-coated and evenly distributed.

            Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom with a spatula for uniform cooking.

              Bake: Carefully place the baking dish in your preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top has turned a delicious golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted.

                Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes. If desired, sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top as a fresh and flavorful garnish.

                  Serve: Cut the breakfast bake into squares and serve while warm. Enjoy this cheesy, hearty delight that's perfect for breakfast or brunch!
