These bacon hash browns are so delicious! This is a Bacon Hash Brown Casserole recipe I developed that does not have soup in it.
This Breakfast casserole recipe makes a great side dish for breakfast or brunch and the bacon is so tasty. While it is not made with eggs, it tastes great when served with eggs. I like to serve them topped with an egg for a fun skillet-style breakfast.
Hello Friends! Hope you are having an amazing week! Today's easy recipe idea is for BACON Hash Browns. If you are like me, anything with BACON in it has my full attention.
This easy breakfast recipe starts out with frozen hash browns. I love how convenient and tasty these are and they save a lot of time, not having to shred the potatoes yourself
.
I usually make these on the weekends as there is just a little more time to get these on the table. Plus I like to make weekend breakfasts a little special.
Check out some of my simple special breakfasts:
- Bacon Sausage Breakfast Tacos - These are simply the best breakfast tacos
- Breakfast Potatoes - Delicious breakfast potatoes made in minutes on your stovetop.
- Cakelike Muffins - these lemon muffins are rich and taste like they are from a bakery.
- Easy Breakfast pastries - These are so simple to make and they elevate breakfast or brunch any day.
Once the hash browns are lightly browned, remove the pan from heat and spread the hash brown mixture into the greased baking pan. Sprinkle with onion and green onions.
Then add the cheese and bacon by sprinkling on top of the pan.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over casserole and bake for 10-12 minutes.
These make a wonderful side dish on their own. We like it with a fried egg in our home.
Or, you can make it a nice base for an egg stack.

Bacon Hash Browns
Bacon Hash Browns
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 5 cups frozen hash browns
- ½ cup bell peppers washed and chopped
- 3 tablespoons chopped onions
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ teaspoon butter 6-8 strips bacon cooked and drained
- ¼ teaspoon salt dash of pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° . Warm oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add frozen hash browns and cook about 5 minutes until brown. If you have a small pan, you may have to do this twice (with half the potatoes each time). While hash browns are cooking, grease a 9 x 13 baking pan with butter. Set aside.
Once the hash browns are lightly browned, remove the pan from heat and spread the hash brown mixture into the greased baking pan. Sprinkle with onion and green onions.
Then add the cheese and bacon by sprinkling on top of the pan.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over casserole and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Nutrition
There are a few things you can do ahead of time:
- Pre-chop the bell peppers and onions the evening before.
- You can use pre-shredded cheddar cheese to save time.
- You can use bacon bits, but honestly the flavor is better if you use real bacon WORTH IT!If you are not yet subscribing to my CELEBRATE THE SEASON newsletter, you can subscribe here.

Bacon is a favorite of mine. And eggs, cheese and potatoes too!
As for your question, I like it crispy but not burnt. There's that fine line where it's crispy and so rich and heavenly. I'm seriously in the mood for it right now at nearly 10:00pm.
Raquel
I am with you Tamara, crispy but definitely not burned. I always want bacon when I think if it LOL!

Annie
Hi your bacon Has Browns look wonderful. The hash browns you cook first are they shredded potato that you make into home made hash browns? We don't have them like that product in NZ.
