Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

cooking spray
1 (12 ounce) package bacon
1 teaspoon butter, or as desired
1 (20 ounce) package frozen cubed hash brown potatoes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (12 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
3 green onions, minced
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
10 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Cook bacon in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain on paper towels and transfer 1 to 2 tablespoons bacon grease to a large skillet, reserving remaining bacon grease.
Add butter to grease in the skillet. Cook and stir potatoes in hot grease-butter mixture until lightly browned, about 10 minutes; season with salt and black pepper. Transfer potatoes to the prepared baking dish.
Heat about 1 tablespoon reserved bacon grease in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms in hot grease until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Layer mushrooms over potatoes.
Place green onions in the same skillet and remove from heat. Allow green onions to soften from the residual heat in the skillet; layer over mushrooms. Crumble bacon over green onion layer; top with 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
Blend together eggs, milk, and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth; pour over Cheddar cheese layer. Top casserole with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.

Cook’s Note

You can use Eggbeaters or precooked bacon. Any variety of cheese can be substituted for the Cheddar cheese.
