Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C) to ensure even baking of the casserole.
  2. Mix Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Assemble Casserole: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the thawed hash browns evenly across the bottom of the dish. Layer the crumbled cooked bacon over the hash browns, followed by an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  4. Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, making sure it seeps through all the layers for consistent flavor throughout.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the casserole is lightly golden brown on top.

Notes

  • Ensure the hash browns are fully thawed before assembling to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  • You can substitute cooked sausage or ham for the bacon if preferred.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit bacon and add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking before serving to improve slicing.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
