Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook 2 lbs of beef breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 8 eggs and 2 cups of milk, then add 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper.
  3. Fold in 30 oz thawed shredded hash browns, cooked sausage, and 1.5 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese until evenly coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
