Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces Frozen shredded hash browns
- 2 cups Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Chopped onion
- 1 cup Diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen shredded hash browns, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, and diced bell peppers. Stir to distribute evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chicken or vegetable broth, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until smooth.
Pour the yogurt mixture over the hash brown mixture. Use a large spoon to combine everything evenly, making sure all the hash browns are coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes to set before serving.
Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before slicing into portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
