Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (thawed)
  • 1 cup cooked ham (diced)
  • ½ cup green onions (sliced, about 4)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Egg Mixture
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups evaporated milk (1 can, 12 oz)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried mustard (optional, for extra flavor)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. Spread thawed hash browns evenly in the prepared dish. Top with ham, green onions, and shredded cheese.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, pepper, salt, and dried mustard (if using).
  4. Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato and ham mixture in the dish.
Baking
  1. Place in the oven uncovered and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

For varying flavors, consider adding veggies like spinach or bell peppers, or using different cheeses. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
