Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

6. Spoon the sausage and cream cheese mixture over the hash browns, spreading it into an even layer.
7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the sausage layer.
8. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and fully blended.
9. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the casserole, ensuring it is distributed evenly throughout the dish.
10. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the center is fully set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
11. Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
