10 - ½ tsp salt
11 - ½ tsp black pepper
12 - 1 (30 oz) bag frozen hash browns, thawed and drained
13 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 23×33 cm (9×13-inch) baking dish with cooking spray.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add the milk, eggs, ranch seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
04 - Stir the cooked sausage, bacon, thawed hash browns, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
05 - Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
06 - Cover the dish with foil and bake for 50–60 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
07 - Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the hash browns are fully thawed and drained to prevent excess moisture.
