Hash Brown Casserole With Bacon and Cheddar image

Wonderful for a weekend brunch. My whole family absolutely loves it. Lots of flavor from the onions, chives, and bell pepper. There are lots of variations of this recipe but I like that this one uses milk instead of sour cream or cream cheese which are high in fat and this one still has just as much flavor. It came from Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Cookbook that a friend got me for Christmas. I only switch the whole milk to 1 % and keep the skillet at medium-low instead of low when making the sauce. Can easily be doubled to serve more people. When I do, I use a 12 oz package of bacon and a 1 lb 14 oz bag of hash browns since that's what they usually come in anyways. Also, the easiest way to snip the chives is with kitchen scissors. So much faster than with a knife! Enjoy!

This casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The hash browns were a little too crispy for my taste and the cheese wasn't very flavorful. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
