I think I found the solution to anyone that thinks the hash brown bottom is too plain. I found and used the Ore Ida's cubed hash browns with green and red pepper in them. I fried these up beforehand with the green onions. Used Lawry's as well and really this gave the bottom a nice taste. It was a bit salty but nothing overly done. Good recipe, definitely a keeper.

We made this last weekend with a few modifications and other reviewers' suggestions. I browned the hash browns in some butter with the green onions, fresh garlic and cut-up bacon. I put this in the bottom of the pan and poured the egg mixture on top (added some Lawry's Seasoned Salt to the egg mixture, too). I also used Kraft Mexican cheese with peppers in place of the cheddar. It was fantastic - got rave reviews from my family - even the picky eaters!

I loved this but best of all the kids loved this! I added a couple extra eggs, a little more milk and few more slices of bacon and made a 9X13 dish. I will try it next with sausage or ham.

This was good and simple. I made a few changes I mixed the cheese in with the hash browns and I added a few drops of Tabasco.

This was great with my alterations taken from other reviewers. I sauteed the hashbrowns with the white of the green onion, fresh garlic, seasoned salt, salt, pepper and butter and put in the bottom of the pan. I used ham AND bacon and some dry mustard in with the egg, green onion and cheese mixture. Looked beautiful and tasted great - lots of flavor!! Made it this morning for Father's Day and my husband and children loved it!

It was a bland letdown. The potatoes need more seasoning

Great! I put the hasbrowns on the bottom of the dish and poured everything else on top. I also added half a white onion to the hashbrowns.

We had some friends stay over and I served this along with the Apple-Rasin French Toast recipe on allrecipes. Because our guests are early risers I decided to make this recipe the night before and store it in the fridge. It seem to work out just fine. I added a tube of ground sausage to the recipe. I also added about a cup of sour cream as suggested by other reviewers. Some of the reviews indicated that the dish was bland so I also seasoned the thawed hash browns with about 2 teaspoons of Penzy's Cajun spice. I also used Onion Powder instead of onions because I'm not crazy about chopping onions. I also used a little more cheese than what was called for. I couldnt really taste that I had put in the cajun spice--but the dish wasn't bland either. I think I might add a little garlic powder, just to give it a little more zing. Overall a great and easy recipe and very adaptable to your tastes.

Very, very good. I used a little seasoning salt and black pepper, but still needs a little kick of something.

Very good! Just made it for my husband and his friend and got rave reviews, and no leftovers! I was short one piece of bacon and an egg, and I used half an onion instead of the green onions, but it came out great. Thanks Ann!

This one went over great. Got requests to make it again. I added a few extra eggs, some pepper, and a can of green chiles. Next time I'll probably add some Krazy Jane's mixed up salt. I also made it the night before and kept it in the fridge until I was ready to bake in the morning. Came out great.

I have been using this receipe for years but I modify it just a tad. I use the bacon but I also use sausage to make it meatier. When I cook the sausage I add a can of rotel to it to add a little kick. I layer the bottom of the pan with the thawed hasbrowns and add a little salt and pepper. Then I pour the sausage over that. Pour some cheese, add the egg mixture and then sprinkle with bacon and cheese. It is a huge hit in the office. I usually have to cook it for about 15 minutes longer than on the recipes.

I made this for a mid-morning party I had. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. I thought it was a little dry and bland. I used the cut up potatoes an turkey bacon plus I added pepper. No onion (we don't care for it) Next time I'll maybe add an egg and some spice.

I halved this recipe, but made some modifications. I used egg substitute (a little extra), reduced fat cheese (some sharp), added fresh parsley and seasoned pepper, added red bell pepper, and used ham lunch meat since I didn't have any bacon. This turned out to be great! My husband loved it. It's a keeper!

Made this for brunch and it disappeared! I would recommend adding a little pepper or other seasoning, I didn't find that it needed salt because I used ham. Some suggestions were adding a little hot sauce or salsa. It made enough for a small helping for 8, so if you are using it as a main dish it would not feed more than 4. I did need to cook it longer, after 30 minutes it was still very watery in the center. Overall a GREAT recipe, SO easy and tasty, will make it again without a doubt!

This was pretty bland and dry. I made it again and browned the hash browns in butter with a little oil adding garlic salt and pepper. I put the hash browns on the bottom of the baking dish, combined the remaining ingredients adding salt and pepper to taste and then poured over the hash browns. It had more taste and using the hash browns as a 'crust' with the butter added seemed to really help with the dryness.

We used vidalia onions instead of the green onions and made a few other minor tweaks. This one turned out great, and will become a staple for holiday cooking. We also assembled it the night before and refrigerated overnight, which made it so easy in the morning!
