Equipment

  • Casserole dish

Ingredients

  • 30 ounces (1 bag) shredded hash browns, fresh or frozen (thawed) (I prefer Ore Ida frozen or Simply Potatoes fresh)
  • 8 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese or Colby jack cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups (about 8 ounces) precooked ham, diced
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
  • 1 cup onions, chopped (1 small onion)
  • 1 cup evaporated milk or half-and-half
  • ½ cup (1 stick) melted butter
  • 1½ teaspoons all-purpose seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare a 9"x13" casserole by spraying it with cooking oil spray. In a large bowl, mix together hash brown potatoes, eggs, 1/2 of the cheese, ham, sour cream, onions, milk, melted butter, and seasonings.
  • Pour hash brown casserole ingredients into the prepared casserole dish and top with remaining shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and golden on top, and the edges of the breakfast casserole are puffy.

Notes

Make ahead directions: Prepare casserole as directed in steps 2 and 3, then cover with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Then follow baking directions, baking for 50 minutes.
TFN Pro Tip:
  • Do not rinse hash browns (fresh or frozen)! The potatoes will soak up the water and it will make your casserole soggy.
