Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen hashbrowns shredded
  • 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese cheddar or Monterey Jack
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup scallions finely chopped (divided)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter or cooking spray for greasing the dish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Pan-fry or bake the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Spread the frozen hashbrowns evenly in the baking dish. For an extra crispy base, pre-cook the hashbrowns in a skillet or oven for a few minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in half of the chopped scallions.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the hashbrowns. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top. Finish with a generous layer of shredded cheese.
  • Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden and bubbling. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining scallions on top, slice into squares, and serve warm. Optional: Add sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Add diced vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
  • This casserole reheats beautifully, making it great for meal prep!
  • Shredded Hashbrowns: These work great if you prefer a soft and evenly layered potato base. They're commonly sold in bags in the frozen section of grocery stores.
  • Hashbrown Patties: Opt for rectangular hashbrown patties if you love a crispy, structured layer. They can be pre-cooked in the oven or skillet for extra crunch before assembling.
