Hashbowns and Ham Casserole

I know what your thinking....

this is just ANOTHER breakfast

casserole's like all the others.

Well the answer to that is Yes and NO!

There are no fancy ingredients added.

It can be made ahead of time,

however it surely isn't necessary.

In fact I like it better if made fresh

the same morning you plan to serve it.

So....what makes this casserole so

different? And will make you want to make

it and taste it for yourself?

It is ALL in how you cook the ingredients.

That simple.

Let's get to the recipe, shall we?

 

Hash brown and Ham Casserole

4 Cups Hash browns~*

*I like to bake potatoes then shred.

However you CAN use frozen hash browns.

Just make sure they are thawed!

2 Cups Cooked Ham ~ diced

1 Med. White Onion ~ diced

1 (4oz.) Diced Green Chilies

3 TBSP Flour

1 C. Half/Half

4 Eggs

1 1/2 Cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Salt/Pepper

Butter

 

Preheat oven to 350

Start by melting 4 TBSP butter, pour over

the fresh (or thawed) hash browns, stir

until well coated. Add in salt/pepper to taste.

Now FRY in a skillet or cast iron until

brown and crispy. Place into a lightly sprayed

9x9" pan. Return back to the skillet

to saute' onion, chilies and ham until

onions are fork tender. Now place this

mixture over the hash browns in the pan.

In a small bowl beat together the

eggs, flour and half/half and cheese.

Finally pour this over all the other

ingredients in the pan.

Bake for 40 minutes, or until

golden brown around edges.

Let stand for 10 minutes before

serving. You are going to be amazed

at just how much flavor cooking your

ingredients before assembling them makes.

ENJOY!
