Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb bacon
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms fresh sliced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes thawed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 pinch dried parsley
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle. Drain grease from the skillet.
  • Cook onions and mushrooms in the residual grease in the skillet until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of butter. Place potatoes into the bottom of the dish; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Top with crumbled bacon, then add onions and mushrooms.
  • Whisk milk, eggs, and parsley together in a mixing bowl; pour over casserole and top with cheddar. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 hour.

Notes

If you’re baking this the same day you make it, and it won’t be refrigerated, reduce the bake time to 45 minutes.
