Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the frozen hash browns, eggs, milk, diced onion, diced bell pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. This mixture forms the flavorful base of the casserole.
Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the eggs and seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the hash browns and vegetables.
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour the prepared mixture evenly into the dish.
Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture to create a delicious, melty cheese crust.
Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top turns golden brown and bubbly.
Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to set before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

You can add cooked bacon or sausage for a meaty version.
Use low-fat milk and reduced-fat cheese for a lighter dish.
To make ahead, assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate; bake the next morning.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated.
Feel free to add other veggies like mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrition.
