Feta and Cheddar Hash Brown Casserole – Delicious oven roasted hash brown potatoes with bacon, feta andcheddar Cheese.
I have an idea! Spoiler alert. It’s about a hash brown casserole and a Christmas side dish.
Hey you! How’s it going? Are the presents all wrapped up? I have a pile in the staircase closet that I don’t want to go near. Fortunately, we don’t exchange gifts until the 1st of January, but I will get to about half of that pile before December 25th. We do exchange (ONE) gift on the 25th, but come January 1st? May the force be with us.
Why Jan. 1?! BECAUSE… Traditionally, for Macedonians, Christmas is Christmas. It’s about Christ. But, January 1st marks a new beginning, thus we celebrate the beginning of the NEW with NEW things, a.k.a. gifts. Also? Most (Orthodox) Macedonians celebrate Christmas on January 7th.
As you can see, I have way more time than you! Nah nah nah nah nah
Now, let’s make a hash brown casserole!
This one time, back in 2014, I piled on a bunch of spinach and tomatoes on top of hash brown potatoes and made the best brunch dish of evvvver. That Hashbrowns, Spinach and Tomato Pie has made its appearance on my table time and time again, and because I needed a change, I made us something similar, but totally new, this Feta and Cheddar Hash Brown Casserole.
I promise you, this is going to be one suuuuuper easy side dish that only requires you to mix up all the ingredients in a bowl and transfer them to a pretty baking dish.
You will need to gather a few slices of bacon (duh), a cup or so of crumbled feta, another cup or so of cheddar cheese, yogurt, too, thawed hash browns, an egg, an onion, some flour, and seasonings. That’s it. If you’re anything like me, all these ingredients are a staple at your house, and within arm’s reach.
Let’s get to it!
ENJOY!
