Breakfast Casserole: Ham & Cheddar

A no fuss recipe that is super easy to put together.
Other cooked breakfast meats, such as turkey or pork sausage and crumbled bacon
will work well in this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ c. milk
  • ½ t. salt
  • ¼ t. pepper
  • 4 c. (16 oz. pkg.) frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 c. cubed fully cooked ham (7 oz. ham steak)
  • ½ medium onion, chopped
  • 2 c. shredded cheddar

Instructions

Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, ham, onion, peppers and cheese. Transfer to a greased 2-1/2 qt. casserole dish and pour egg mixture over the top.

Don't use a really deep casserole dish or put a lid on while baking.

Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. If top starts to get too brown, lay a sheet of foil loosely over the top and continue to bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until center of casserole is set and not runny.

Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Serves 6

NOTE: You can substitute Swiss cheese if preferred; and add chopped bell peppers (one color or an assortment of green, red, yellow or orange).
