Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
In the same skillet, use the bacon drippings or add 1 tablespoon of butter if needed. Add the hash browns and cook until lightly golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Spread the cooked hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the hash browns in the baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese and the sliced green onions into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the hash browns and bacon in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
