How to Get Perfectly Prepped Ingredients
Efficient ingredient prep makes this casserole fast and easy from start to finish. Chopping onions, bell peppers, or green onions for your mix-ins is a breeze with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. If you want to add a wholesome hash brown base, using pre-shredded potatoes saves time and gets you to the table quicker. For picture-perfect bacon, use kitchen shears to chop it for even distribution throughout the casserole.
Mixing and Assembling the Casserole
Begin with a large mixing bowl to whisk together your eggs, milk, and ranch seasoning. Add shredded cheese and prepared bacon, then fold in hash browns and any desired vegetables. For an ultra-creamy, evenly baked casserole, use a quality nonstick skillet to crisp your hash browns before assembly—for this, the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch offers flawless cooking.
Line your casserole dish with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll to prevent sticking, make cleanup hassle-free, and deliver easy lifting for perfect squares every time.
Serving and Storing Your Easy Crack Breakfast Casserole
Once golden and bubbly, let your casserole rest for 5–10 minutes, then cut into hearty squares. This makes it easier to serve and helps flavors settle. If you’re meal prepping or saving leftovers, store portions in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to keep the casserole fresh and easy to reheat.
Pair your casserole with a light side salad, fruit, or fresh juice for a balanced breakfast or brunch. Serve directly from your casserole dish or present individual portions in a sturdy container for on-the-go convenience.
