Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Now, take those frozen hash brown patties and arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of your dish, creating a hearty base.
Step 4
Next, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese and diced ham evenly over the hash browns, adding a delicious layer of flavor.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and a touch of ground mustard until everything is well blended and frothy.
Step 6
This mixture is the magic that will bring your dish together, so pour it evenly over the ham and cheese layers in the baking dish, ensuring every bite is packed with goodness.
Step 7
Cover your creation with aluminum foil and slide it into the preheated oven, letting it bake for an hour.
Step 8
The aroma will start to fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait! After an hour, carefully remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Step 9
Keep an eye on it as it transforms into a golden-brown masterpiece.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s ready when the edges are beautifully crisp and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 11
Once it’s done, let it cool for a few moments before serving.
Step 12
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any time you crave comfort food!.
