How to Make Bacon Hash Brown Casserole

  1. Thaw 2 lbs of frozen hash browns for 30 minutes.
  2. While hash browns thaw, prepare the bacon: using clean scissors, cut 1 lb of bacon into thin strips horizontally.
  3. Fry bacon until crispy, about 10-12 minutes, then remove and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Add ⅓ cup melted margarine (reserved bacon grease can be substituted or added in addition) and mix well.
  6. Add 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, the cooked bacon, and the thawed hash browns. Gently mix until well combined.
  7. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  8. Spread the hash brown mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 1 hour at 375°F (190°C), or until golden brown and heated through.
