Directions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a big bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, onion powder, and chipotle chile powder until everything is nicely combined. Add in the hash brown potatoes, both types of corn, shredded Cheddar, and the chopped peppers, then give it all a good stir. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and spread the mixture evenly inside. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, until the casserole is hot throughout and the top has a lovely golden brown color. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!
