| Frozen hashbrown potatoes | 2 lbs |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 2 cups |
| Large eggs | 9 |
| Milk | 2 cups |
| Diced green chiles, drained | 1 can |
| Garlic powder | 1 tsp |
| Onion powder | ½ tsp |
| Salt | To taste |

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the ground breakfast sausage until it’s completely browned. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
- Cook the hashbrowns: Using the same skillet, heat the frozen hashbrown potatoes until they are lightly browned and mostly defrosted, about 8-10 minutes.
- Layer the casserole: Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Layer the lightly browned hashbrowns in the bottom of the dish.
- Add sausage and toppings: Layer the cooked sausage evenly over the hashbrowns. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage, and then distribute the drained diced green chiles over the cheese.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Pour egg mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers of the casserole.
- Bake: Bake the casserole uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
