Baked Crispy Hashbrown Casserole
I don't know about you, but sometimes I get in a rut and feel like I am making the same foods for breakfast week after week, after week. This crispy hash brown casserole may take a little longer to make, but let me promise you, it is totally worth every minute. Make an extra large pan of it because it tastes just as good reheated!
Ingredients
- 8 large potatoes chopped into bite sized pieces
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 1 large red pepper (or colour of your choice) cut into bit size pieces
- 1 lb bacon cut into small bits
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Dice the potatoes. Mix the potatoes with olive oil, add remaining seasonings and toss to coat.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes.
- Fry bacon until lightly browned, set aside.
- Caramelize onions and garlic in the bacon fat. Add onions first, and garlic once the onion is translucent.
- Fry ground beef until cooked through.
- Add bacon, ground beef, peppers and onions and mix well.
- Top with cheese and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
