Easy Denver Omelet Hash Brown Casserole Recipe – This egg casserole is loaded with eggs, potatoes, ham, cheese, and all the veggies in a Denver omelette.

Easy Breakfast Casserole has been one of my most popular recipes since 2013. It’s great because it comes together so quickly.

This easy hash brown casserole recipe takes just a few extra steps to chop up some vegetables. But, it’s definitely worth it!

How to make this egg casserole:

In a large bowl, add frozen hash browns.
Add chopped ham.

Add shredded cheddar cheese.
Add chopped bell pepper and chopped yellow onion.
Add halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic.
Stir together.

Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray.
Pour the hash brown mixture into the dish.

In a large bowl (I use the same bowl from the hash browns), add eggs.
Add milk, salt, and pepper.
Whisk to combine.

Pour the eggs over the hash brown mixture.

Bake for 1 hour.
Cool at least 10 minutes before slicing.

I’m sure it’s a little more expensive and maybe not quite as good, but this makes a good “go to in a hurry” meal if you use frozen Potatoes O’Brien instead of preparing the real potatoes, onion and bell pepper. I know it is better to cook from scratch, but if I keep the Potatoes O’Brien, cheese and ham in the freezer (I always buy hams at holidays and either freeze or can much of the meat), with the help of my chickens, it is on hand for anyone to easily put together if I have company for dinner or for breakfast or if I am ill.

  I have made this ahead of time and placed it into a ziplock and frozen until I needed it. I placed in the fridge the night ahead of time to defrost and into the oven the next morning… worked beautifully.

  You could do that with any egg mixture/omelette setup. Just make sure to cover it properly b4 refrigeration. Maybe give it a quick stir/whisk before putting it in the oven.
  You could keep it in the fridge for a few days if you need to.
