Breakfast Casserole with Cheddar, Bacon & Ranch

This Cracked Out Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole is a favorite at our house. Hash browns, eggs, milk, cheddar, bacon, and ranch. So simple, yet SO delicious! Even though this is called a breakfast casserole, we love this any time of the day – breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. This is also great for overnight guests and holiday mornings. Whip up some biscuits and grits and you are set!

How to Make Cracked Out Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole

This casserole is very easy to make. Start with cooking the bacon in a large skillet. Remove the bacon but leave all the drippings in the pan. Place the hash browns in the skillet and cook them until they start to brown. Put the hash browns in a baking dish. Top with bacon and cheddar cheese. Whisk together eggs, milk, and ranch dressing mix. Pour over the hash browns and bake.

You can use precooked bacon in this recipe. One pound of cooked bacon is about 4-ounces or 1 cup. I like to buy the big bags of pre-cooked bacon pieces at Sam’s Club and Costco. It works great in casseroles like this one.

Can Bacon Breakfast Casserole be Frozen?

You can make this casserole in advance and refrigerate or freeze for later. If you are baking this right after taking it out of the refrigerator, you may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time. To bake the casserole after freezing, thaw completely and bake as directed below.

You can even split this casserole between two pans. Bake one now and freeze one for later.
