In a large mixing bowl, crumble the leftover cornbread into large pieces.

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Add the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the egg mixture; mix well.

Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and uncooked sausage into the egg mixture.

Pour the egg mixture over the crumbled cornbread in the baking dish, ensuring even coverage.

Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden.

Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
