Bacon Egg and Hash Brown Casserole

Prepare the Hash Browns:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the hash browns are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Assemble the Casserole:

Spread the seasoned hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cooked and chopped bacon over the top of the hash browns.

Make the Egg Mixture:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the hash browns and bacon in the baking dish.

Add Cheese:

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Bake the Casserole:

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 golden and bubbly. You can check the center with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the casserole is done.

Serve:

Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy this hearty breakfast dish on its own or with a side of fresh fruit.
