Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the sausage from the skillet and drain excess fat.

In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and bell pepper until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until combined.

Stir in the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, hash browns, cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Grease a baking dish and pour the mixture evenly into it.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden on top.

Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
