Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (30 oz) frozen hash browns
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk

Vegetables and Seasoning

  • 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the frozen hash browns, large eggs, milk, diced onion, diced bell pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until everything is fully incorporated.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well so all ingredients are evenly distributed, ensuring consistent flavor and texture throughout the casserole.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly to prevent sticking and pour the combined mixture into it, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture in the baking dish for a cheesy, golden crust.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is beautifully golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving, enabling it to set further for easier handling.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding cooked bacon or sausage to the mixture before baking.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
  • Customize the vegetables with mushrooms or spinach for additional nutrition.
  • Make sure the hash browns are fully thawed for even cooking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for an easy next-day breakfast.
