Ingredients
Main Ingredients

- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature while you prepare the casserole mixture.
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the frozen hash browns, eggs, milk, diced onion, diced bell pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. These ingredients create the flavorful base of your casserole.
- Mix well: Stir all the ingredients together until fully combined, ensuring that the eggs are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour the mixed casserole ingredients evenly into the dish.
- Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture to add a rich, cheesy crust as it bakes.
- Bake the casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is beautifully golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving to let it set properly for easy slicing.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add cooked sausage or bacon to the mixture before baking.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for a quick breakfast option.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure that the frozen hash browns contain no added gluten ingredients.
