  • Total Time: 55-60 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 bag (about 30 oz) frozen hash browns, thawed

  • 8 large eggs

  • 1 cup whole milk or cream

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)

  • 1/2 cup chopped onions (optional)

  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the dish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

  • Prepare the Hash Browns:
    If using frozen hash browns, make sure they are fully thawed. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Spread them evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

  • Make the Egg Mixture:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese and mix until well combined.

  • Assemble the Casserole:
    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash browns in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top.

  • Bake the Casserole:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until the casserole is set, and the top is golden brown and slightly crispy. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.

  • Let It Rest:
    Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the casserole set and makes it easier to cut.

  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious hash brown egg casserole! You can pair it with fresh salad or toast for a complete meal.
