A delicious and satisfying casserole combining ground beef, bacon, cheeses, and hash browns, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound bacon, chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (30-ounce) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and drained
  • 1 (1-ounce) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and bacon until browned and crispy. Once cooked, drain the excess grease.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and whole milk until smooth. Add the ranch seasoning mix, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs and fold them into the creamy mixture along with one cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Spread the thawed hash browns in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, then crumble half the cooked ground beef and half the bacon over the hash browns.
  5. Pour the creamy egg mixture over the layers, then top with the remaining ground beef, bacon, and cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 to 55 minutes, or until set and golden brown.
  7. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make sure to thaw and drain the hash browns thoroughly to prevent sogginess. Consider making ahead of time for convenience.
