Ingredients

  • 8 slices Oscar Mayer bacon, chopped
  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 each green and red pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped

Steps

  1. Heat oven to 350°F.

  3. Add potatoes, mushrooms, peppers and onions to reserved drippings in skillet; cook 10 min. or until peppers and onions are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in Velveeta. Spoon into 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
  4. Whisk eggs and sour cream in medium bowl until blended; stir in bacon. Pour over vegetable mixture.
  5. Bake 40 min. or until center is set and casserole is heated through.

Notes

Kraft Kitchens tips: Casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking (increase baking time as needed). Substitute 1 pkg. (8 oz.) Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese for the cubed Velveeta.

An earlier printout of this same recipe (kraft2__ScanG_25-1.jpg, dated 1/19/13) had a handwritten note confirming the substitute: “1 pkg. (8oz) Shredded Cheddar Cheese for cubed Velveeta.” That duplicate source page was not made into a separate file.
