Ingredients

• 20 ounces Frozen shredded hash browns
• 2 cups Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Chopped onion
• 1 cup Diced bell peppers (any color)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen shredded hash browns, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, and diced bell peppers. Stir to distribute evenly.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chicken or vegetable broth, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the yogurt mixture over the hash brown mixture. Use a large spoon to combine everything evenly, making sure all the hash browns are coated.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out into an even layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes to set before serving.

Step 11

Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before slicing into portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
