Ingredients
- 1 pkg (30 oz) hash browns thawed if frozen
- 8 large eggs room temperature
- ½ lb uncooked bacon
- 1 white onion diced
- ½ cup cream room temperature
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- ½ orange bell pepper diced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup diced green onions for garnish
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Get out and measure your ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
- Add bacon to a large skillet over medium high heat and cook until crispy and cooked through. Set aside on a paper towel to drain grease.
- Add the onions and bell peppers to the hot skillet. Saute the veggies until soft and onions are translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Spread the hashbrowns evenly into the bottom of your baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, seasonings and cream until well blended.
- Pour the egg mixture over the hashbrowns. Top with half of the sauteed vegetables, followed by half the bacon, and then a layer of half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining vegetables, bacon and cheese.
- Cover the baking pan with foil and bake for 40-45 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the casserole is fully cooked through.
- Garnish with green onions.
- Allow your casserole to rest for at least 10 minutes after removing it from the oven to make it set and easier to cut and serve.
Notes
- Drain the bacon well after cooking to remove any excess fat.
- Pat the defrosted hash browns dry before adding them to your casserole to prevent excess moisture from making your dish soggy.
- Whisk your egg mixture thoroughly to create a light and fluffy casserole texture.
- Cook until completely done in the center. The easiest way to tell is to insert a toothpick or a knife in the center of the golden brown casserole before removing it from the oven. It should come out mostly clean when the eggs are cooked all the way through.
- Allow your casserole to rest for at least 10 minutes after removing it from the oven to make it set and easier to cut and serve.
