Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, combine the frozen hash brown potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish and press them down firmly to create a base layer.
Bake the hash browns in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are golden and slightly crispy.
While the hash browns are baking, cook and crumble the Italian sausage if it hasnβt been cooked already.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and evenly spread the pizza sauce over the baked hash brown crust.
Layer half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and all of the shredded cheddar cheese over the sauce.
Top with the cooked Italian sausage, pepperoni slices, diced green bell peppers, and sliced black olives.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Potato Pizza Hot Dish!
