Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the pork sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Spread the thawed hash brown potatoes evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spoon the cooked sausage and onion mixture over the hash browns.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and hash browns.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the top.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

You can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage if desired. This dish reheats well for leftovers.
