Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole with Bacon

This is by far the easiest breakfast casserole recipe I’ve ever made. It combines almost all of the things I like about breakfast into one dish. If I could figure how to add pancakes in here, it would be absolutely perfect. Switch the bacon for any meat you like, just make sure it’s cooked before you add it. This casserole reheats well so it makes a great breakfast or lunch the next day

 A few things to note:

1. I like Obrien potatoes in this because it already has onions and peppers in it. Feel free to use regular hashbrowns if you like but make sure they’re thawed. Be sure to season them so they won’t be bland.

2. Poke the middle of casserole with a toothpick to make sure it’s done. If the toothpick comes out clean, it’s ready to serve.

3. If you want to expand the number of servings, 1 egg usually equals 1 serving. 6 eggs = 6 servings. 10 eggs = 10 servings etc. Adjust your cooking time accordingly.

4. Change the type of cheese to whatever you like. Smoked gouda or gruyere work well too.
