Easy Potato and Bacon Breakfast Casserole

~ 4 cups southern/country- style hash browns (cubes), completely thawed (if they’re not thawed, they won’t cook correctly)

~ 1 package bacon

~ 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese

~ 1 1/2 cup jack cheese

~ 4 green onions, chopped

~ 3 eggs

~ 1 cup milk

~ 1/2 tsp. salt

~ about 10 turns freshly ground pepper

1. About 3 or so hours before you begin make sure to set out your 4 cups of hash browns so they can thaw out.

2. Cook bacon. While bacon is cooking, place the potatoes in a 9 x 13 baking dish or a deep-dish 9” pie plate. Mix the cheeses together and sprinkle it over the potatoes. When the bacon is done cooking, drain it on a paper towel. If you want sauté up the green onions in a little bit of the bacon grease and then spread the onions over the cheese mixture. Then sprinkle everything with crumbled bacon.

3. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for 7-8 hours.

4. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350^o F. Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly but not brown. Allow to stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
