Ingredients
  

1 lb bacon, chopped

1 lb frozen hash browns (thawed)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

6 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels, leaving some fat in the pan.

      In the same skillet, add the thawed hash browns and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are slightly golden. Stir occasionally to ensure an even cook.

        In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

          Spread the cooked hash browns evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the crispy bacon over the hash browns, then layer the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the bacon.

            Pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire casserole, ensuring that it seeps down through the layers.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set.

                Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

                  Slice and enjoy your cheesy bacon potato breakfast casserole hot!
