Egg and Hashbrown Pie

        For a quick and easy breakfast or dinner egg casseroles are always nice, and one of my favorites is Egg and Hashbrown Pie. I usually use bell peppers in mine; red, green, yellow, and orange to give it good color.
       

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 5 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 1/3 cup chopped green onions
• 1-2 cups veggies (your choice)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 7x11 inch baking dish.
3. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. Stir in the bacon, hash browns, green onions, veggies, and 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
4. Bake in the preheated oven 25 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese on top, and continue baking for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven, and let sit 5 minutes before serving.

         Another variation to this recipe is to fry the hashbrowns in a skillet with butter, salt, and pepper. Then press the cooked hashbrowns into the bottom of your prepared dish. Then pour your egg mixture over the hashbrowns. It makes a yummy crust on the bottom.
        You can also put pretty much anything you want in this; sausage, broccoli, spinach, deli ham, etc.
        I am planning on making this again soon but doing a double batch to see how it freezes.
