Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, onion powder, and chipotle chile powder until everything is well combined. Then, add the hash brown potatoes, both the whole kernel and cream-style corn, shredded Cheddar cheese, and chopped peppers. Give it a good stir so all the ingredients are mixed evenly.
Step 2
Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray, and spread the mixture evenly inside. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is hot all the way through and the top has turned a nice golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish alongside grilled chicken or pork for a hearty meal. It also pairs well with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables to add freshness and balance. For a festive touch, top with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro or green onions.
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to maintain creamy texture. Avoid freezing, as it may change the casserole’s consistency.
