Source: Unknown24 ounces frozen shredded hash browns
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
2 cups of ham (you could use sausage, bacon or vegetable of your choosing)
(I would add cooked onions or chives next time)
6 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (I would probably up to 1 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Place frozen hash browns in a 9x13 baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour melted butter over hash browns and bake at 400º for 30 minutes.
Top hash browns with cheese and ham.
Mix egg, milk, salt and pepper together. Pour egg and milk mixture over cheese topping and return to oven for 30 minutes at 350º.
I talked about this recipe HERE.
Great recipe! I do agree with adding cooked onions or chives, it needs that extra flavor! I found that it needed to cook a little longer than 30 minutes after adding the eggs but that could have just been my oven! Thanks for the awesome recipe...it was a hit!
ReplyDeleteTo the basic recipe I added:
ReplyDelete1) chives (I chopped and precooked
the chives in a small skillet
with a few bacon
crumbles).
2) added more ham (bought packaged
sliced ham, cut into 1/2"
pieces, used about 12 oz.)
3) also added bacon crumbles
about 4 - 6 oz) (bought the
packaged precooked bacon
crumbles, Costco has a bag of
bacon crumbles that work well).
4) tomatoes; (used Roma Tomatoes
sliced thinly, but I think
fresh local tomatoes would be
great. Roma tomatoes have
advantage of being small so no
problem with serving size).
5) I used 8 eggs instead of 6,
and increased the cooking time.
6) With the hash browns
I "cheated" and bought a
(frozen) bag of "Southwestern"
(peppers and onions already in
the hashbrowns). I used about
26 - 28oz. of that.
I did not add the mustard powder, but did use some add'l seasoning salt. (used about 1/4 teaspoon
of regular salt and 1/4 teaspoon of seasoned salt, alter to taste).
and,
I added about 8 minutes to the cooking time for the hashbrowns (total 38 minutes);
I placed the tomatoes on top of the ham and bacon crumbles, and then placed the cheese on top
of the tomatoes, then poured the egg and milk mixture over the top of everything.
I added an additional 10 minutes to the cooking time for second "section" (add'l eggs, tomatoes, etc.).
(total 40 minutes, but may need to check and add or subtract a few depeneding upon your oven).
Overall cooking time, about 1 hour, 10 minutes.
Can prep the hashbrowns and butter while the oven is preheating, and can easily do the rest of the prep
while hashbrowns are cooking.
9 x 13 casserole dish.
..makes it into a full meal, and
more "attactive" to guys.
