Ingredients
- 16 oz 1 lb. frozen hashbrowns
- Nonstick spray
- 8 oz turkey bacon or regular, chopped; if using regular, omit nonstick spray
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- ½ cup red onion diced
- 16 eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Spray your crockpot generously with nonstick spray, then pour the frozen hashbrowns into it.
- Next, spray a medium skillet with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 8-10 minutes until crispy; remove with a slotted spoon and place into your crockpot.
- Pour the olive oil into the skillet, then add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened, then transfer to your crockpot.
- Add the eggs, salt and pepper to a large bowl and set aside.
- Add the cottage cheese and milk to a small blender and blend for 20 seconds or so until smooth, then pour the cottage cheese mixture into the bowl with the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs and cottage cheese together until well combined, then pour into the crockpot. Last, sprinkle everything with shredded cheese.
- Cook on LOW heat for 6-7 hours, or on HIGH heat for 4 hours until the eggs have set.
- Slice the casserole into 8 pieces, sprinkle with chopped chives (optional) and enjoy!
