Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking pan.

02

Step

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add hash browns and onion; cook and stir until hash browns are crispy, about 10 minutes.

03

Step

Place bacon in a separate skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble into smaller pieces.

04

Step

Layer hash brown-onion mixture, bacon pieces, 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, and green chile peppers in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Crack eggs, one at a time, on top. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese over eggs.

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are firm and cheese starts to brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cumin or chili powder to the hash brown mixture.
Feel free to substitute your favorite cheese for cheddar. Monterey Jack or pepper jack would also be delicious.
If you're short on time, pre-cooked bacon crumbles can be used.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator overnight. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
