I adore this breakfast or brunch recipe to make Spicy Comfort Food Baked Hash Brown Casserole dish because it is so delicious! I also love this hash brown egg bake because it is simple to make and it tastes like the classic cheesy potato dish, but with a spicy twist. This easy shredded hash brown casserole is mixed with jalapeños, tomatoes, green chilis, eggs, onion, and two cheeses and sausage (on half). The easy-meal-prep dish creates a mixture meal for a hybrid diet family looking to feed both vegetarians and meat-lovers from one recipe (can easily be made meatless or all meat though).

Make it half meat and half vegetarian if trying to feed both vegetarians and meat-eaters:)

Look at all those layers of yummy cheese, potatoes, and egg! Delish!

 

Make it With Meat or Without, or a Combo of Both as Hybrid Dish

This recipe is versatile, but I like to make it as a fusion recipe or hybrid dish to please both vegetarains and meat-lovers. However, it could easily be made all vegetarian or all meat containing by either omitting the meat or doubling the meat, respectively. My family is a hybrid mix or split table family where some members want meatless and some want meat.

It’s super easy to cook this way; it’s just a matter of being mindful about meal prep. Simply add the meat last to half of the pan. I just add meat where I want based on individual family preferences. This way I reduce being a short-order cook and just make one meal for my whole family. Cooking for a split table is not that hard, you just have to plan ahead during meal prep. Think about how you can keep the meat portion separate from the meatless portion. For more tips on this, read my post about cooking for a split table.

Meatless pieces for the vegetarians (like me!) I could eat this every week. Plus, it has such a quick prep. Great for busy households and moms like me!

This shows how easy it is to cook in a hybrid way. Add meat to half or a quarter of the dish and add the meat last to make meatless and meat portions. Easy peasy and feeds two diets with 1 dish:)

Are you hungry yet? Cause I sure am!

Ingredients for Spicy Comfort Food Baked Hash Brown Casserole

This recipe is so easy to make. Whether you like to call it an egg bake or a casserole, the concept is the same. All the ingredients are mixed together, placed in a pan, and then popped into the oven.

Done.

I love this type of recipe because the work is all up front for the meal prep, and once the intial prep is done, the work for the meal is done! I can go back to work or doing stuff around the house while it cooks. Easy peasy!

The 12 ingredients for this super easy casserole include the following ingredients:

  • shredded potatoes, either boiled and shredded potatoes or frozen hash browns (I make it easy and use frozen)
  • shredded sharp cheddar cheese (make it easy, buy it already shredded;)
  • can of diced tomatoes and green chilies,  mild (I love to use Rotel®)
  • crumbled Queso Fresco cheese
  • jalapeños, hot (canned)
  • salt
  • diced onion
  • ground thyme
  • eggs
  • milk
  • coconut oil (to grease the pan)
  • mild Italian sausage (if meat is desired)

This spicy comfort food dish is packed with hash browns. Potatoes are carbs, however, they also contain fiber and vitamins. I think potatoes often get a bad rap for being a carbohydrate, but they really are healthy when eaten as part of a balanced diet.

I love potatoes! Don’t you?

The kitchen supplies needed include the standard measuring cups, measuring spoons, two bowls, large spoon for stirring, and a 9×13″ glass baking dish.

Cook this dish at 400° for 1 hour, uncovered.

When to Make Spicy Comfort Food Baked Hash Brown Casserole

I love this casserole dish for breakfast or brunch, but it makes a great lunch or dinner as well. It’s a very tasty leftover, so when I make it and we have leftovers, I’m happy. I eat it for lunch or dinner. Being a busy mom of three boys, I love leftovers. I didn’t love leftovers before having kids, but I sure do love them now being as busy as we are all the time.

This would be a great egg bake to make for a holiday meal or when having houseguests in your home. Make an easy dish so you have time to visit with your guests rather than spending all your time in meal prep. Your family and guests will love this meal and you can make it in a flash!
