Ingredients
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
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and grease a 9×13 baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, ranch seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
- Layer the casserole: Spread the thawed hash browns evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the hash browns, followed by an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour egg mixture: Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients to coat everything thoroughly.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the eggs are fully set. Test with a toothpick or knife to ensure the center is cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick that complements the creamy ranch flavor.
- This casserole is excellent for meal prepping and reheats beautifully for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
