Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion, frozen hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer half of the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Arrange the Lit’l Smokies sausages in a single layer on top of the hash brown mixture.
Spread the remaining hash brown mixture over the sausages, covering them completely.
Sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top for extra cheesiness (optional).
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
