Easy Breakfast Casserole with Hash Browns
From: Kristine @ kristineskitchenblog.com/breakfast-casserole/?
An easy breakfast casserole recipe with hash browns and bacon. You can make this egg breakfast casserole the night before or morning of. It feeds a crowd and is a favorite for both entertaining and meal prep breakfasts.
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 1 hour, 15 min
Total time: 1 hour, 30 mins
Makes: 8 servings
INGREDIENTS:
6 ounces (6-8 slices) bacon*
1 pound frozen hash brown or diced potatoes*
12 large eggs
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
6 green onions, chopped
1 ½ cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
DIRECTIONS:
Cook the bacon: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (for easy clean up).
Lay bacon slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, flip over, and then bake for 5 minutes more or until done.
Place bacon between paper towels to absorb grease and let cool.
Then, chop into small pieces.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place hash brown potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish.
Arrange in an even layer.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Stir 2/3 of the green onions, bacon, cheese into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 of the green onions, bacon and cheese over the top of the casserole.
Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake 5-10 minutes more, until eggs are set.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS EASY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
For faster prep, cook the bacon ahead of time and refrigerate until you’re ready to make the casserole.
Bake the casserole covered with foil to prevent over-browning. Uncover for the last few minutes of the bake time.
You can make this breakfast casserole gluten-free by making sure that the hash browns you use are gluten-free. Also be sure that any other mix-ins you add are also gluten-free.
I like to reserve about 1/3 of the bacon, cheese and green onions for sprinkling on top of the casserole before I put it in the oven.
*You may substitute chopped cooked ham or cooked sausage for the bacon.
*Look for frozen potatoes without salt or seasonings added. If you do use salted or seasoned potatoes, omit the salt, garlic powder and onion powder in this recipe.
Make ahead:
Assemble the casserole, cover it and refrigerate overnight, before baking. In the morning, bake the casserole as directed.
You can also bake the casserole up to one day ahead, refrigerate, and reheat it when you are ready to serve it. Reheat the baked casserole in a 350 degree oven, covered with foil, for about 15 minutes, until warm.
