Brown 1 pound of breakfast sausage in a skillet, crumbling it as it cooks until fully cooked through.

In a mixing bowl, scramble 12 eggs with 1 cup of milk, salt, and pepper.

In a large bowl, combine thawed 30 oz bag of frozen shredded hash browns with garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and pepper.

In a 9x13 baking dish, layer the seasoned hash browns evenly across the bottom.

Spread the browned sausage over the hash browns evenly.

Pour the egg mixture over the hash browns and sausage, ensuring even distribution.

Top with 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, reserving some for later if desired.

Add any remaining cheese on top before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, checking to ensure it does not overcook.

Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
