Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (thawed)
  • 1 cup cooked ham (diced)
  • ½ cup green onions (sliced, about 4)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups evaporated milk (1 can, 12 oz)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried mustard (optional, for extra flavor)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. Spread the thawed hash browns evenly in the dish.
  3. Top with diced ham, sliced green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, black pepper, salt, and dried mustard (if using).
  5. Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato and ham mixture in the dish.
  6. Bake uncovered for 50–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serve warm.

Notes

Make sure to thaw hash browns before using. You can substitute with your favorite cheese or add spices for extra flavor. Prep it the night before for easier morning cooking.
