Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
Layer the Hash Browns: Spread the thawed hash browns evenly in the greased baking dish to create a bottom layer.
Add Meat and Veggies: Sprinkle the cooked breakfast sausage or bacon crumbles, diced bell peppers, and diced onions over the hash browns.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the other ingredients in the baking dish.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using) until well combined.
Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring it’s distributed evenly.

Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-45 minutes or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Check for Doneness: To check if the casserole is done, insert a knife or toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean and the top is nicely browned, the casserole is ready.
Serve: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into slices and serving.
Garnish and Enjoy: You can garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired. Serve the hashbrown breakfast casserole with your favorite breakfast sides like fresh fruit, toast, or coffee.
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding other ingredients you enjoy, such as mushrooms, spinach, or different types of cheese. Enjoy your delicious homemade Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole!
