How to Make Arkansas Breakfast Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook 6 slices of bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 3 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 3 cups cubed cooked potatoes (or 2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed) and cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables and potatoes.
- In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and vegetables.
- Crumble the reserved cooked bacon over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
