Instructions
Main
Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage and diced onion until the sausage is no longer pink, about 8 to 10 minutes, then drain any excess fat.
Spread the thawed, patted-dry hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with the cooked sausage mixture and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
