My four kids went to visit my aunt and uncle in Wisconsin and came home ranting and raving about this great breakfast! I convinced my aunt to send the recipe and it is so easy and yummy! Also so easy to adapt to whatever you have in the fridge, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, sausage, etc!
Ingredients:
8 frozen hash brown patties
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese (i never use all cheddar preferring to mix cheeses)
1 lb fully cooked cubed ham (2 cups)
10 eggs
1 cup half-and-half cream (i just use 2% milk)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
pepper
1 cup crisp diced bacon (optional)
Directions:
1. Place hash brown patties in 13x9 greased casserole.
2. Sprinkle with cheese, and ham.
3. In a bowl, beat eggs, half-and-half, salt and mustard well.
