Equipment

  • 9x13 casserole dish

Ingredients

  • 30 ounce package of frozen hashbrowns with onions and peppers, thawed
  • 2 cups cooked ham diced
  • 2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish well.
  • In a large bowl, combine the thawed hashbrowns, diced ham, and shredded cheese. Season with Montreal steak seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix until combined
  • Prepare Egg Mixture:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Pour the egg mixture over the hashbrown and ham mixture. Stir gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are fully set.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing. This is delicious as-is, but the second time we had this, I topped it with salsa, sour cream and jalapenos. That was delicious as well!

Notes

Greasing the pan with butter ensures crispy edges - my favorite part!
If you prefer, you can use hashbrowns without the onions and peppers. I prefer that extra flavor, without any extra effort! If you want to dice your own onions and peppers, you'll want ¼ cup of each. 
You can prepare this the night before and refrigerate overnight. It may add a few minutes of cooking time.
For storage, refrigerate leftover casseorle in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. 
Freezer - I've also frozen this casserole for meal prep. Just make sure that you wrap it with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and then freeze for up to three months.  Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking. 
Reheat - Reheat the entire casserole in the oven to 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Or, you can also reheat single servings in the microwave for 1 minute or until warm all the way through.
