Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease and set aside.
Prepare Hashbrowns: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hashbrowns with the melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well, then spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Layer Ingredients: Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the hashbrowns, then top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Mix Eggs & Milk: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Rest & Serve: Let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
