Sausage, Egg & Hash Brown Breakfast Bake: The Ultimate Breakfast Comfort

In a large skillet, cook the crumbled sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Add the diced onion during the last 2 minutes of cooking and sauté until softened. Drain any excess fat, then set aside.
Prepare the Hash Browns:

In a large bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir to mix evenly.
Assemble the Bake:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Spread the hash brown mixture evenly in the bottom of the dish. Top with the cooked sausage and onion mixture, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Prepare the Egg Mixture:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour this mixture evenly over the sausage, hash browns, and cheese. Gently press down to ensure everything is well coated with the egg mixture.
Bake:

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly. You can test by inserting a knife or toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, the bake is ready.
Garnish and Serve:

Let the breakfast bake rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired, and serve warm.
