Set your oven to 375°F and spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (or cream), salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
Spread the thawed hash browns evenly in your baking dish. Top with cooked sausage and a layer of cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
