Print Recipe

A hearty and flavor-packed dish featuring ground beef, crispy bacon, and creamy eggs on a bed of tender hash browns.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Cook ground beef and chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy. Drain excess grease.
  2. Combine cream cheese, sour cream, and whole milk in a large bowl. Beat until smooth and stir in ranch seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Lightly beat the eggs in another bowl, then pour into the creamy mixture with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Gently fold until combined.
  4. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread drained hash browns evenly across the bottom. Crumble half cooked ground beef and half bacon over the hash browns.
  5. Pour creamy egg mixture over the hash browns and meat. Top with remaining ground beef, bacon, and last cup of cheddar cheese.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Drain hash browns well to avoid excess moisture. Customize by adding vegetables to the egg mixture.
