### Sausage and Potato Breakfast Casserole

This hearty and flavorful breakfast casserole is a perfect choice for a satisfying breakfast or brunch. With layers of savory sausage, crispy potatoes, and a cheesy egg mixture, it’s a dish that’s both filling and easy to prepare. Ideal for feeding a crowd or preparing ahead for a busy morning, this casserole combines classic breakfast ingredients into a delicious and comforting meal.

**Ingredients (for 8 servings):**
– **2 pounds ground breakfast sausage:** Provides a savory base for the casserole. You can use spicy or mild sausage based on your preference.
– **2 pounds frozen shredded potatoes:** These will form the base of the casserole. If you prefer, you can use fresh shredded potatoes, but frozen is more convenient.
– **2 cups grated cheddar cheese:** Adds a rich, cheesy flavor that melts beautifully over the casserole.
– **9 large eggs:** Forms the custard-like base of the casserole, binding all the ingredients together.
– **2 cups milk:** Helps create a creamy texture in the egg mixture.
– **1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilis:** Adds a mild, tangy heat. You can adjust the amount based on your spice tolerance.
– **1 teaspoon garlic powder:** Enhances the savory flavor of the casserole.
– **1/2 teaspoon onion powder:** Adds depth to the overall flavor profile.
– **Salt and pepper:** Season to taste.

**Directions:**

1. **Preheat the Oven:**
– Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of oil or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. **Cook the Sausage:**
– Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and drain any excess fat. Set the sausage aside.

3. **Prepare the Hash Browns:**
– In the same skillet, add the frozen shredded potatoes. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and mostly thawed. This step helps to give the hash browns a crispier texture in the casserole.

4. **Assemble the Casserole:**
– Layer the cooked hash browns evenly in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Spread the cooked sausage over the hash browns, ensuring it is distributed evenly. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage layer. Then, sprinkle the chopped green chilis over the cheese.

5. **Prepare the Egg Mixture:**
– In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. This mixture will create a custard-like consistency that binds the casserole ingredients together.

6. **Add the Egg Mixture:**
– Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Make sure the egg mixture reaches all corners of the dish so that it cooks evenly.

7. **Bake:**
– Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes. The casserole is done when the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center of the casserole; it should come out clean.

8. **Cool and Serve:**
– Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This resting time helps the casserole set and makes it easier to cut into portions.

**Tips for Best Results:**
– **Prep Ahead:** You can prepare this casserole a day in advance. Assemble the casserole up to the point of baking, cover it with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
– **Variations:** Feel free to customize the casserole by adding other ingredients like sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach), different types of cheese (Swiss, mozzarella), or herbs and spices for extra flavor.
– **Serving Suggestions:** This casserole pairs well with fresh fruit, a simple green salad, or a side of avocado slices for a balanced meal. It’s also delicious on its own or with a dollop of salsa or hot sauce for added flavor.

Enjoy this hearty and satisfying breakfast casserole as a delightful start to your day or as a comforting brunch option for family and friends!
