Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet until browned.

Add diced red bell pepper and chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened.

Thaw the frozen hash browns and layer them in a greased 13x9 casserole dish.

In a bowl, beat 12 eggs and mix in 2 cups of half and half, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Add the cooked sausage and vegetables to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

Pour the egg mixture over the hash browns in the casserole dish.

Top with cheese (not specified in the transcript) and press down slightly.

Cover and refrigerate overnight if desired, or bake immediately.
