First attempt at a breakfast casserole.

So I decided that I wanted to make a breakfast casserole this morning. I looked at several recipes but they all called for packaged frozen hashbrowns. Since I discovered a year ago how much cheaper it is to make hashbrowns from scratch, I do not have any frozen ones.

So I began with the fresh hashbrowns and quickly remembered why I choose to make breakfast potatoes instead. I always seem to burn the potatoes a bit but I just continued on with the rest of the recipe.

So the recipe is as follows:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3 Cup hashbrowns cooked (I shredded ½ an onion too)
5 eggs
½ Cup milk
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
1 Cup sliced mushrooms
½ Cup sweet peppers
6 strips of turkey bacon
1 Cup Swiss cheese

As stated before cook the hashbrowns and then place them in the bottom of a casserole dish.
Mix eggs, milk, and spices. Pour on top of potatoes.

Cook veggies and bacon separately and then sprinkle evenly over egg mixture.

Finally top with the cheese, cover with foil, and cook in oven for 30 minutes or until knife stuck in middle comes out clean. Remove foil and cook an additional 5 minutes to brown the top.

My opinion of my first breakfast casserole is great. My husband rates it a 7 out of 10 but his reason was it is more effort than it's worth. I think he was just hungry and was tired of waiting.
Next time I start to make it before he wakes up.
