Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
Description
Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole features diced bacon mixed with thawed shredded hash browns and a mixture of beaten eggs, cheddar, cottage, and Swiss cheeses seasoned with salt and pepper. The ingredients are combined and baked in a greased dish until set and golden, producing a dish with a crispy top and tender, cheesy interior. Baking at 350°F ensures even cooking, and tenting with foil if browning too quickly prevents overcrisping.
The resulting casserole offers a savory blend of smoky bacon and creamy cheeses contrasted by the tender hash browns. Its thick texture and balanced flavors make it suitable as a filling breakfast or brunch main dish. It can be portioned for family meals or gatherings.
This casserole can be assembled the day before, refrigerated, and baked fresh in the morning, or frozen for up to three months when thawed properly. Leftovers store well in the fridge for several days or the freezer for longer keeping, making it practical for meal planning or batch cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Bacon diced
- 4 cups hash brown potatoes thawed, frozen, shredded
- 9 egg lightly beaten
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1½ cups cottage cheese
- 1¼ cups swiss cheese shredded
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Cook diced bacon in a large skillet until browned and put into a large bowl.
- Stir in potatoes, eggs, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, swiss cheese, and salt & pepper. Pour mixture into greased baking dish.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. If the top is browning more quickly than the middle is baking, tent a piece of aluminum foil over the top to keep it from getting too crispy and dry.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. ENJOY!
