Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease Dish: Take an 8-inch square baking dish and grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
-
Layering: Start layering your ingredients in the prepared dish. Begin with half of the hash brown potatoes, followed by half of the chopped onion, half of the crispy bacon, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
-
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, egg, and season salt until well combined.
-
Pour Mixture: Evenly pour the prepared egg mixture over the layered potato and bacon mixture in the baking dish. Ensure that the mixture covers all the ingredients evenly.
-
Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Uncover and Finish: Carefully remove the foil or lid from the baking dish and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the top of the casserole is golden brown and slightly crispy.
-
Rest Before Serving: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it stand for 10-15 minutes to cool slightly and allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve and Enjoy: After resting, slice the potato and bacon casserole into generous portions and serve warm. It’s perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch, especially during the holiday season!
