Green Chile Egg Casserole
Servings 9 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked and diced bacon about 6 pieces
- 9 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded potatoes
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese plus ¼ cup for the top
- ½ cup green chile plus ¼ cup for the top
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange the bacon on the foil so the pieces don't touch. Cook for 18-20 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any grease and cool slightly. Use kitchen shears to cut the bacon into 1-inch pieces.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375ºF.
- Grease a 9x9-inch pan. (See notes.)
- Beat the eggs together with the milk. Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish.
- Add in the ingredients (minus the additional cheese and green chile for the top). Whisk ingredients together until the eggs and other ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Top with more green chile and shredded cheese, then bake for 30 minutes or until eggs are set and cheese is melted.
Notes
To make this a 9x13, add 3 more eggs and ¼ cup milk.
Substitute canned green chiles if desired. They are usually milder than green chile sauce.
