Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage until browned. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Spray the inside of the crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Layer the frozen hash browns evenly at the bottom of the crock pot.
Top the hash browns with the cooked sausage, followed by the diced bell peppers and onions. Spread them out evenly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and vegetable layers in the crock pot.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the eggs are fully set and the casserole is cooked through.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Crock Pot Sausage and Egg Casserole!
