Bacon Hashbrown Quick Breakfast Casserole Recipe

When our kids were little and the weekend mornings were less hectic (like, lots less hectic) we loved having new quick breakfast ideas that could be whipped up fast. This recipe is one of those where it comes together in a flash, but you can also prepare it the night before and bake it the morning you want to serve it.

This quick breakfast casserole became one of my personal favorite breakfast for dinner ideas as well. I also love that you can switch the bacon out for ham making it even more customizable to what taste you’re longing for. And, it’s delicious!

For this quick breakfast casserole I used:

Cook and crumble your bacon first. Sometimes I use the microwave and this contraption here. While that’s cooking, stir together the eggs and milk.

Next, add the green onions to the mix.

And then 1 cup of the cheese. You can use sharp cheddar if you wish, too.

Add the bacon last and spread into a 9-inch pie plate like this one here. Who am I kidding? That one is so much cuter than mine.  😉

‘Nuff said, right? But here are the directions and ingredients in one spot so you too can make this awesome concoction of wonderful flavors you won’t be forgetting for quite some time.

Ingredients:

• 5 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 cups of frozen hashbrowns, thawed
• 1/3 c. greens onion, sliced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1 1/2 cups mild cheddar cheese
• 8 slices bacon (or 1 cup diced ham)

• 3 cups frozen hashbrowns thawed
• 1/3 c. green onions sliced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1 1/2 cups mild cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Cook and crumble your bacon.
2. Stir together eggs and milk.
3. Combine the hashbrowns, green onions, salt, pepper and 7 slices cooked & crumbled bacon.
4. Add one cup of the cheddar cheese.
5. Pour egg and milk mixture over hashbrown mixture in a bowl and mix well.
6. Pour into a 9 inch pie plate.
7. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
8. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes uncovered, or until casserole is set when you try and wiggle it and a toothpick comes out "clean"
9. Let the breakfast casserole sit for 5 minutes or so to let it harden up a bit.
10. Cut into wedges and serve - will serve 6-8 people.
11. ** To make this the night before serving, mix all ingredients together, top with remaining cheese and bacon crumbles and set in fridge. Your hashbrowns will thaw in the egg mixture over night and it will be ready to bake in the morning. *** If you prepare this the night before you'll need to add time to your baking time. An extra 10-15 minutes should be good.
