• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

2. Cook the Meats:
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease. Set aside. Cook the bacon until crispy and chop it into small pieces.

3. Layer the Base:
   Spread the thawed hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with the cooked sausage and bacon. Sprinkle 1½ cups of the cheddar cheese (and mozzarella, if using) evenly over the meat.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.

5. Pour and Top:
   Slowly pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Tap the pan gently on the counter to distribute the liquid evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.

6. Bake to Perfection:
   Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

7. Cool and Serve:
   Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
