Farmer's Casserole
Description
This Farmer's Casserole layers frozen hash browns in a greased baking dish topped with diced cooked ham, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and green onions. A beaten egg and evaporated milk mixture seasoned with black pepper and salt is poured over the layered ingredients which bind everything together during baking.
Baked at 350°F for approximately 40 to 45 minutes until set and lightly golden, the casserole achieves a creamy, custard-like interior while the potatoes remain tender but intact. If prepared in advance and refrigerated, the bake time is extended slightly to ensure thorough heating.
This dish can easily serve eight portions and is suitable for a breakfast or brunch table, or as a hearty side for lunch or dinner. It delivers comfort with familiar ingredients and simple preparation.
Ingredients
- 3 cups hash browns frozen
- ¾ cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 1 cup ham diced, cooked
- ¼ cup green onions chopped
- 4 egg beaten
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Arrange hash brown potatoes evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Sprinkle cheese, ham, and green onions over the hash browns.
- In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, evaporated milk, pepper, and salt together.
- Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture in the dish.
- At this point, you can cover and refrigerate the casserole for several hours or overnight if needed.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (If you made the casserole ahead of time and chilled it, bake for 55 to 60 minutes instead.)
- Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before cutting into 8 portions and serving.
