🧂 Ingrediente

- 1 large Onion(chopped)
- 5 large Eggs(beaten)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.

Cook the chopped bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until it begins to soften and render its grease. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Add the chopped onion to the bacon fat in the Dutch oven and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the shredded potatoes and the cooked bacon.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, evaporated milk, salt, and farina until well combined.

Dot the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
