Hashbrown Omlet

Lots of times around Christmas the women in our ward get together for a fun little breakfast. My friend Christy brought this a few years ago and it has been a Christmas morning staple in our house. It's got a little bit of everything, eggs, potatoes, cheese, bacon, and even onions and green peppers. You can make it on the stove top which is great if you've got something else baking in the oven or bake in a 9 x 13 pan.

8 slices bacon (usually I crumble this, but if I'm in a hurry I just put it on in slices)
4 cups shredded potatoes (they have these pre-made if you want to speed things up)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper

8 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

8 slices of American Cheese

Cook bacon in a 10-12 in. skillet. Leave in drippings. Remove bacon and crumble. Mix next three ingredients and put into skillet with drippings. Cook over low heat until underside is brown. Blend eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over potatoes. Top with cheese and bacon. Cook over low heat 10 minutes or until done. If you prefer to bake-350 degree oven. I would guess about 25-35 minutes. Just cook until eggs are set to your liking.

Note- I usually cook mine in a skillet that has a lid. That way if you are having trouble getting the top to set, you can just put the lid on for a few minutes. It also speeds up the cheese melting.
