Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) ground beef
  • 1 pound (450g) bacon, chopped
  • 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120g) sour cream
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (30-ounce/850g) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and drained
  • 1 (1-ounce/28g) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and bacon until browned and crispy. Drain excess grease.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and whole milk. Beat until smooth.
  3. Stir in the ranch seasoning mix, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well incorporated.
  4. Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then slowly pour them into the creamy mixture. Gently fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Spread thawed hash browns evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Crumble half of the cooked beef and bacon over the top.
  6. Pour the creamy egg mixture evenly over the hash browns and meat, then layer the remaining beef, bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until set and golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
