HASH BROWN HAM CASSEROLE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart baking dish. Place the hash brown potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook and stir the sausage and onion until the sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink; drain. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and pour over the potatoes. Layer with half the Cheddar cheese, the sausage mixture, and the remaining Cheddar cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove cover; return casserole to the oven and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, thoroughly squeeze the excess liquid from the defrosted hash browns. Mix the hash browns, ham, onion, bell pepper and 1 cup of the Cheddar together in a slow cooker.
• Whisk together the milk, sour cream, salt, garlic powder, pepper and eggs in a medium bowl until blended. Stir in the cream cheese. Add the mixture to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the hash browns.
• Cover and cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Cheddar. Cover and continue to cook on high for an additional 1 hour.
• Turn off the slow cooker, remove the lid and let the casserole rest for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with ketchup and hot sauce, as desired.
