How to Make Country Oven Omelet

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion in 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cups frozen hash browns, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until hash browns are thawed and slightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  4. Press the hash brown mixture into an ungreased 10-inch pie plate or oven-safe skillet, forming a crust.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
  6. While the crust is baking, in a separate skillet, brown 1 pound ground beef over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color) and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Drain off any excess grease.
  8. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  9. Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture into the baked potato crust.
  10. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  11. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  12. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the meat and cheese.
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  14. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
