    I have never been a big sweets-for-breakfast kind of girl. Give me eggs over cereal any day. Almost every weekend morning I have my griddle out making bacon and eggs and hash browns for the family.

    While I love our big breakfasts, there are times when I want something a little less work-intensive, like Christmas morning, or when we have busy sports schedules. For those days, this ultra-comforting Bacon Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole is the perfect recipe!

    Why I love this recipe

    • it is hearty and filling
    • if you've already cooked the bacon the casserole only takes 10 minutes to prep
    • it reheats wonderfully in the microwave so it's perfect for meal prep
    • it is easy to play with variations to customize to your own taste
    • it's great for breakfast for dinner, just like my hamburger hash brown casserole

    Ingredients

    hash brown casserole ingredients
    • a dozen eggs
    • diced hash browns
    • 1 pound of bacon
    • yellow onion
    • cheddar cheese
    • milk
    • salt and pepper
    • green onion for topping if you like

    Step by step

    I love how easy this breakfast casserole is to make. After a quick assembly, just pop it in the oven and you’re done!

    breakfast casserole before baking
    1. Spread the hash browns along the bottom of a casserole dish coated with nonstick spray.
    2. Whisk the eggs and milk together, then add half of the cheese, onions, and bacon.
    3. Add salt and pepper and then pour over the hash browns.
    4. Top with the remaining bacon and cheese then bake for 45 minutes.

    Slice the casserole into squares and serve with chopped green onion. Is your mouth watering yet?

    This recipe is perfect for holidays, serving at brunch, or meal prep. Simply make it over the weekend, cut into squares, and refrigerate. Then you can reheat one each morning for a fast savory breakfast on the go!

      Made this for celebratory brunch. Easy & delish. Used the shredded hash browns. I did cook up some mushrooms and carmelized the onions to mix in. Yum!
