Ingredients
  

1 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled (mild or spicy, based on preference)

1 large onion, diced

2 cups frozen hashbrowns (shredded or cubed)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

8 large eggs

1 cup milk

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

    Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced onion and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

      Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

        Whisk the Eggs: In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Stir in the cooked sausage and onion mixture, followed by the cream cheese mixture, ensuring everything is evenly combined.

          Assemble the Casserole: Spread the frozen hashbrowns evenly in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Pour the egg and sausage mixture over the hashbrowns, using a spatula to distribute it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

            Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the middle and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

              Cool & Serve: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired, cut into squares, and serve warm.
