Hash Brown Casserole

Great breakfast treat for out of town guests. You can make ahead, too! 

Ingredients

• 12 eggs
• 1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
• 1 tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. pepper
• 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 (30 oz.) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 (4 oz.) can Hatch green chili, mild
• 1 cup cubed fully cooked ham (I use 2 cups of Dickey’s smoked ham and could have even put more for the meat lovers.) 

Directions

Heat oven to 350° F.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and cayenne (if desired). Then, slowly stir in the potatoes, cheese, onion and ham.

Pour into a greased 13” x 9″ x 2” baking dish and bake, uncovered, at 350° F for 45 – 50 minutes.
