How to Make Hash Brown Casserole With Bacon And Cheddar
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Butter an 8x8 inch glass baking dish.
- Cook 6 slices bacon in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, over medium-low heat, cook 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper in the reserved bacon grease for 8 minutes, until softened, stirring often.
- Keep skillet at medium-low heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Slowly whisk in 2 cups of 1% milk, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer (about 5 minutes).
- Crumble the cooked bacon into the sauce.
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups shredded hash browns, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Evenly spread the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Top with half of the chopped chives (about 2 tablespoons), 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the vegetable-bacon mixture.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and remaining chives.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving.
