1-Cook the bacon: Place bacon on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes until crisp. Once done, chop into small pieces after removing excess grease. Remember to reserve some bacon for topping the finished casserole.

2-Prepare the sausage: Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Be sure to drain off any excess grease to prevent the final dish from being too oily.

3-Prep your casserole dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to ensure nothing sticks and cleanup is easy.

4-Create the base layer: Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

5-Add the meats: Distribute the cooked sausage over the hash browns, followed by most of the chopped bacon (reserving some for the final topping).

6-First cheese layer: Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat layer.

7-Season each layer: Lightly season each layer with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to your taste. Remember to go easy on the salt since the bacon and sausage already contain salt.

8-Prepare the gravy: Following the package instructions, prepare the country gravy using the gravy mix and 2 cups of water. Pour the gravy evenly over the layered ingredients in the dish. Mix very gently to combine without disturbing the layers too much.

9-Add the egg topping: In a separate bowl, whisk the 6 eggs until well combined. Pour the eggs evenly over the entire casserole. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

10-Bake to perfection: Place in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the hash browns are cooked through. You’ll know it’s done when the center no longer jiggles when gently shaken.

11-Final touches: Once removed from the oven, sprinkle the reserved chopped bacon and the chopped green onions over the top before serving.
