Instructions
- In a large bowl, place 6-oz. package dry hash brown potatoes. Pour 4 cups hot water over the hash browns, and let them sit for 10 minutes to soften. Drain well. Meanwhile, in another large mixing bowl, place 5 eggs, and beat with an electric mixer until well-beaten. Combine beaten eggs with drained hash brown potatoes. Add 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, ? cup small curd cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, a dash of ground black pepper, a few dashes of hot sauce, and ? cup sliced green onion tops. Stir the mixture until well-combined. Pour the mixture into a 10-inch deep-dish pie dish (or similar oven-proof dish) that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Sprinkle with paprika, to taste. Sprinkle with 6 slices of chopped, cooked bacon. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until casserole is set. Cut into wedges and serve. This casserole is delicious with a few orange slices on the side. I hope you enjoy it!
