Overnight Hash Brown Casserole Food

DOUBLE CHEESE OVERNIGHT HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a medium sized frying pan, fry the bacon and onions together until the onions are soft and translucent. Drain the bacon grease and set aside.
• Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the soup, eggs and milk until combined. Stir in the bacon mixture, cheese and the hashbrowns.
• Pour into the prepared pan.
• Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight.
• In the morning, pre-heat your oven to 350 °F.
• Bake in the oven for 60-70 minutes, until the middle of the casserole is cooked and set, and reaches a temperature of at least 165 °F. Top with green onions if desired.
• Remove, let cool slightly and serve.

HASH BROWN EGG CASSEROLE WITH HAM

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray, or grease with butter.
• Dump the bag of frozen hashbrowns into the pan. (There is no need to thaw first.)
• Melt a stick of butter in a small bowl, and pour evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper. Use a spoon to gently toss it all together, then spread it out so that it's even.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned on top. You can even nab a forkful to make sure they are done if you like.
• Remove the casserole and reduce the oven temperature to 350.
• Layer 1 and 1/2 cups each Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese over the top of the potatoes (make sure you pack in your cheese! Don't skimp now!) Add the ham. You can either leave it layered or use a spoon to gently toss the cheese and potatoes and ham together. Either way is fine. (I like to toss for a more even distribution.)
• In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk together 8 eggs, 1 and 1/3 cups evaporated milk OR cream, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (use less if all you have is table salt!), 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. Beat well.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of the casserole, making sure everything gets wet.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. It is done when bubbly. The edges should be starting to brown and the center should not wiggle when you shake the pan.
• If the center of the casserole looks very wobbly but the top is starting to brown too much, cover with foil for the last few minutes of baking.

OVERNIGHT HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Lay bacon on lined pan so that it's close but isn't touching.
• Bake for about 10 minutes or until tender-crisp. You don't want it to be crisp because it's going to bake longer when the casserole cooks.
• Let bacon cool on baking sheet.
• Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any extra grease.
• To make the casserole, heat butter in a large skillet.
• Add diced onion and peppers.
• Cook until onion is translucent and peppers have softened.
• Grease a deep 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Layer hashbrowns and cooked veggies.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Crumble cooked bacon over the top of the veggies.
• Top with 1 cup cheese.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and hot sauce.
• Pour over hash brown mixture.
• Top with remaining cup of cheddar cheese.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil, and place in the fridge overnight.
• In the morning, get casserole out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you want to bake it.
• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Bake casserole, covered, for about 45 minutes.
• Uncover, and continue cooking for about 15 minutes longer, or until casserole is set and has baked through.
• I like to serve this with additional chipotle hot sauce or salsa.

BREAKFAST CASSEROLE WITH HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Mix eggs, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper together in a bowl and set aside.
• Mix hash browns, ham, Cheddar cheese, green onions, and bell peppers together in another bowl. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking pan and mix in egg mixture well; it may appear watery but hash browns will absorb most of it by morning. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is browned and eggs are set, about 55 minutes.
