What makes this hash brown casserole easy?
Seriously, it took me longer to preheat my oven than it did for me to prepare this egg casserole. I used frozen hash browns, shredded cheese, and cubed ham. So, the only real prep work that I had to do was crack open the eggs.
This casserole will feed a crowd. It makes 12 portions.

DELICIOUS! I did 20 oz refrigerated hashbrowns, 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 2 lbs of cooked sausage and cooked bacon (we love meat)! Poured the eggs-milk mixture on top. I cooked for an hour on 375. PERFECT. The combination was perfect. We topped with either country gravy or maple syrup 🙂

Not sure if this is the same recipe I tried, but anyway I added green peppers and onion to mine because I love a western omelet. The recipe called for 350 for 1 hr, but I had to add 10 more minutes because the middle wasn’t firm. It was excellent. Think I may add bacon or sausage next time. Had to freeze some so we’ll see how that goes later. Love the recipe.

Karla says

Lori says
I add diced onions and green peppers to the potatoes, 1/3 of the cheese, then after adding egg/milk mixture, sprinkle remaining cheese on top, press down, cook 75 minutes, perfect every time.
