- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.
2. Cook the Sausage and Veggies
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef sausage and cook until browned. Stir in diced onion and bell pepper, cooking for another 2–3 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
3. Layer the Ingredients
Spread the thawed hashbrowns evenly in the greased baking dish. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the hashbrowns, then spread the cooked sausage mixture on top.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour evenly over the casserole.
5. Add Cheese and Bake
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is golden brown.
