Hash Brown Egg Bake

A package of frozen hash browns makes this recipe simple to prepare. Featuring bacon and cheddar cheese, its tasty breakfast or brunch fare. You can even make it the night before, keep in the fridge and bake the next morning—so convenient! —Cheryl Johnson Plymouth, Minnesota

Excellent! I didnt think it was blah at all, though I did add extra cheddar cheese to it (we love cheese). My son loves it, and its perfect for him to reheat some for breakfast every morning before school.

Easy to prepare. Lacks flavor and though hubby liked it, I thought it was too dry. Definitely needs more spices and cheese. I did add onion when cooking the bacon and garlic granules to potatoes and it still was lacking

My family and I do not eat spicy food. That being said we thought this recipe was very blah, even for us! I dont understand all the great reviews! There was way too many potatoes. It had almost no flavor. If I did make it again, I would use a lot less potatoes and more bacon.

This recipe is a great base! I find that a few changes make it really yummy. My whole family loves the way I made it, and my boyfriend called it restaurant good haha! I dont measure out my spices, so Ill have to guesstimate. I used 26 oz of shredded hashbrowns instead of 30 oz of the cubed ones. I added about 1 TBSP each of garlic and onion powder to the hashbrowns before adding everything else. Also about 1/2 TBSP of black pepper, and a good sprinkling of salt. Then I mixed in 2 cups of shredded cheddar to the potato mixture, then finally adding the hot bacon at the end. To the eggs I added another sprinkling of salt and pepper, and a dash each of onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne. Dont worry, a dash wont make it spicy, it just adds some dimension and flavor! I baked it at 400 F for about 45 minutes, pulled it out and sprinkled another layer of cheese, and then popped it back in to melt the cheese. Super, super yummy! Next time I may add some chopped up onion, garlic, and peppers.

All in all, a good recipe for when you dont want to cook every day, lasted us nearly a week as a breakfast or a snack. I found there was not enough egg, and almost entirely no flavor. I plan to make this again but adding a few extra eggs and fillers. I have an older oven which is electric, so cook time will have to be adjusted as well, but again, all in all, a good recipe.

I found that this recipe lacked flavor. Based on other reviews, I used obrien potatoes and added salt and pepper to the eggs thinking that would help but it didnt really seem to make a difference. I also added an extra egg, a little extra milk and double the amount of cheese but the potatoes seemed to overpower the dish to the point that I barely tasted the bacon or the cheese. I really wanted to like this dish since its easy to put together and makes a lot but I doubt that I will try it again.

Great basic recipe but improved with the addition of more eggs, cheese and cream.

Made a couple of alterations but turned out great full of flavour. I use 20 oz of Potatos obrian vs. hash browns and added some chives, garlic, and onion powder.

very blah, even with hash browns with onions and green peppers and added spice didnt help. quick and easy. wont make again

After making it one time,I added an extra egg and a can of diced green chilis and and extra 1/2 cup of cheese to the mixture. It was yummy and my husband and I like it alot
