In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sour cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Repeat the layers with remaining hash browns, sausage, and more cheese.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire dish, ensuring it seeps down through all layers.

Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld and hash browns to absorb the egg mixture.

In the morning, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the covered casserole for 45 minutes.

Remove foil and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly and the center is fully set.
