Hearty American Breakfast Casserole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty American Breakfast Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a skillet and heat it over medium.

3. Step 3

   Toss in some diced bacon and chopped onion, letting them sizzle together until the bacon turns crispy and golden, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Once they’re perfectly cooked, drain the excess grease, but don’t toss it all away—save a bit for greasing your baking dish.

5. Step 5

   Now, take a 9x13-inch baking dish and lightly grease it with that reserved bacon grease, adding a touch of flavor right from the start.

6. Step 6

   In this prepared dish, combine your crispy bacon and onion with beaten eggs, thawed hash brown potatoes, and a delightful mix of Cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, Swiss cheese, chopped green bell pepper, and zesty green chiles.

7. Step 7

   Stir everything together until it’s well blended, creating a colorful and hearty mixture.

8. Step 8

   Now it’s time to bake! Place your casserole in the preheated oven and let it cook for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is beautifully golden brown, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.

9. Step 9

   Once it’s done, allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes—this will make slicing easier and let those flavors settle.

10. Step 10

    Finally, serve up generous portions and enjoy the comforting, savory goodness of your homemade casserole!.
