Ingredients

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
1 cup sour cream
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
½ cup chopped green onions reserve some for topping
16 oz diced ham
4 cups shredded frozen hash browns

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup shredded cheese, sour cream, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add green onions and ham. Mix well.
Add hash browns. Stir until everything is well-combined.
Transfer mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle remaining cheese and green onions on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 50 minutes.
Remove aluminum foil and bake for 10 additional minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown.

Notes

Don’t skip the cover. To prevent burning the top of your ham and hash brown breakfast casserole, do not skip the aluminum foil. We love golden brown and it only takes a few minutes to get some color. Remove it towards the end of the cooking time.

Season well. Potatoes and eggs need seasoning. Be generous with the salt and pepper or whatever seasoning you decide to use.

Make it Ahead. It’s super easy to assemble this hash brown and ham casserole ahead of time. Store it covered in the refrigerator overnight and bake according to the instructions. It's a good idea to allow it to sit on the counter for 30 minutes before baking.
