This tasty breakfast casserole starts with cooking bacon. Once the bacon is cooked, shredded hash browns are added to the pan and cooked until light brown. Then the hash browns are placed in a baking dish and topped with bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Next a mixture of eggs, dry ranch dressing mix and milk is poured on top. The casserole is baked until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.
