Ingredients
  

4 cups frozen shredded hash browns

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped

1/4 cup green onions, sliced (reserve some for garnish)

1/2 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

    Prepare Hash Browns: In a large bowl, mix the frozen shredded hash browns with olive oil (or melted butter), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until they are coated evenly.

      Layer Hash Browns: Spread the seasoned hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish, pressing them down slightly to create a compact layer.

        Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

          Add Toppings: Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped bacon and grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the baked hash browns.

            Final Bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the sour cream over the top and sprinkle with reserved green onions for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy your loaded hash brown creation!
