Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Base Layer
- 4 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, ranch seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Layer ingredients: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread the thawed hash browns evenly across the bottom of the dish, then sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon over the hash browns. Next, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Combine and pour: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, making sure to cover the cheese, bacon, and hash browns well.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. Bake until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow it to set and make serving easier.
Notes
- Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick and extra flavor.
- Great for meal prep — this casserole reheats beautifully and maintains its flavor.
