Cheesy Hashbrown Ham Casserole

Cheesy Hashbrown Ham Casserole is ideal for breakfast, lunch or even dinner (and you can substitute the meat with chicken etc !) – Most versatile recipe !

Cheesy Hashbrown Ham Casserole

One of the biggest bonuses of a recipe is versatility. Cheesy Hashbrown Ham Casserole can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch or even dinner.

The ham could be replaced with chicken, ground beef or just about any other kind of meat. I have made the casserole with chicken and ground beef, but our favorite meat addition is ham.

You can use leftover ham, thickly sliced ham from the deli or as I sometimes do – canned ham !

Yes, I said canned ham, but then again I only buy one brand of canned meats, which have been around longer than I have and is a brand I grew up with. Therefore, it is really your own choice which ham to use.

I know there are frozen grated potatoes available and that will be fine to use. But I never buy the frozen types as we only get it from a factory store, which is not that close to us.

And grating a few potatoes are really not that difficult or even time consuming.

Steps 2 and 3 can be done ahead of time if you want to serve the casserole for breakfast.

Do the frying the night before, store in a sealed container and the next morning all that’s needed is some whisking, mixing and the casserole is ready to go into the oven.

Sounds yummy, going to make this soon! I was wondering if I can substitute 2% milk or half'n'half for the cream?

I am sure half n half would work just fine in this recipe, but 2% milk might make the casserole a bit watery - hope this helps ! (replying here as your e-mail is not attached to your comment)

I am so sad to say I have never made a Hashbrown Casserole and I need to correct that! LOL Love the addition of ham to yours! YUM!!

There seems to be a step missing. You mix together the eggs, cream, cheese and flour, but it doesn't mention when it gets added to the casserole? Is it mixed together with the ham and potatoes? Is it poured over the potato mixture after that's added to the casserole dish? Do you put the eggs first, then layer the potatoes?

Thanks, that's much clearer!

Christina, step 5 can only be added to step 4. I have made a note in brackets, step 5, to make it a little clearer. Hope you enjoy the recipe ! (replying here as your e-mail is not attached to your comment)
