Crispy, cheesy, and packed with bold flavor, this Bacon & Cheddar Hash Browns recipe features North Carolina’s own Bright Leaf Hickory Smoked Sugar-Free Bacon. Perfect for breakfast or a hearty snack, this dish pairs smoky bacon with golden hash browns and gooey cheddar for a Southern classic everyone will love.
Ingredients:
- (1) 12 oz. Pack of Bright Leaf Bacon
- 1 lb. (half a bag) of Southern Style Hash Browns
- About 2 - 3 Tbsp. of Vegetable Oil
- Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Ranch Dressing (for dipping)
Cooking Instructions:
- Heat your griddle or pan to medium-high and fry the bacon until it reaches the desired crispiness. Remove the bacon from the pan, let it cool, and crumble it into small pieces.
- In another pan or the other side of the griddle, drizzle 2–3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and spread it evenly. Add the hash browns in a thin layer and toss lightly to coat them with oil.
- Let the hash browns cook, tossing occasionally until golden and crispy. Add more oil if needed during cooking.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns. Allow the cheese to melt and crisp slightly. Top the cheesy hash browns with the crumbled bacon.
- Using two spatulas, remove the hash browns from the griddle. Serve hot with your favorite ranch dressing for dipping. Enjoy this quick and delicious meal.
