???????? Instructions
1. Prep the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a 22×33 cm (9×13-inch) baking dish with butter or oil.
2. Layer the Hashbrowns
Spread the frozen hashbrowns evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Add Bacon and Cheese
Sprinkle the cooked, crumbled bacon and half the cheese over the hashbrowns. If using onion, scatter it on top here too.
4. Whisk the Eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
5. Assemble the Casserole
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hashbrown and bacon layers. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
6. Bake
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the top is golden and bubbling. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
