Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • If you loved my Baked Hash Brown Casserole recipe you'll love this hashbrown casserole made in an instant pot too!
  • Gotta love easy meals that take minimal effort!
  • Hearty breakfast that will warm you up and get you going in the morning!

Ingredient Notes

  • Hash Browns - This recipe calls for frozen hashbrowns aka shredded potatoes rather than homemade hash browns from fresh potatoes.
  • Pepper Onion Blend - This blend contains yellow bell peppers, green bell peppers and red bell pepper with sliced onions. I can't always find the bell pepper blend with onions included so I just add a sliced medium onion.
  • Cheese - I used a shredded colby jack but you can use a shredded cheddar cheese as well.
  • Bacon - You may substitute a bag of real bacon bits if needed. Browned breakfast sausage can be substituted for the bacon. Leftover ham can be used in place of the bacon as well.
  • Smoked Paprika - Don't substitute regular paprika. The flavors are distinctly different.
  • Spicy Variation - If you want some heat to your hash brown casserole add a ¼ teaspoon of Chipotle powder.

Recipe FAQs and Tips

How long can breakfast casserole be refrigerated before cooking?

You can prepare these breakfast casseroles 12-14 hours ahead of time and put them in the fridge until you're ready for them.

Can you freeze this breakfast casserole?

Yes, prepare as instructed and tightly covered with two layers of tin foil.  Label the top and pop in your freezer.  When you're ready to use them there is no need to thaw.  Just place them in your instant pot as instructed above but increase the cooking time to 60 minutes.

How do you reheat this breakfast casserole?

Reheat in your oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.  Or scoop out of the foil tin (never put the foil tin in the microwave) and reheat in the microwave on a microwave safe dish.

About the tins used in this recipe:

The tins I use for this recipe are 7 inch Take Out Tins. They fit perfectly inside my 6 quart Instant Pot.   I can find them at Dollar Tree, but you can also order them from Amazon in either a set of 10 or a set of 40.
