Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside. In a sauté pan over medium heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the pan with the sausage, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
Spread the thawed hashbrowns evenly in the baking dish. Layer the hot sausage mixture and cooked bacon over the hashbrowns.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until frothy.
Sprinkle the cheese on top of the meat layer, then gently mix all ingredients to combine and spread them evenly.
Pour the egg mixture over the entire casserole. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until the center is puffed and the edges are golden brown.
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
