Description
A simple and delicious family favorite, this Farmer’s Casserole combines creamy cheese with fluffy eggs and tender potatoes, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (thawed)
- 1 cup cooked chicken or beef (diced)
- ½ cup green onions (sliced – about 4)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups evaporated milk (1 can)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon dried mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Spread the thawed hash brown potatoes evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle the diced chicken or beef over the potatoes, followed by the sliced green onions and a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, black pepper, salt, and dried mustard (if using). Pour this mixture over the potato and chicken mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown, about 30-40 minutes. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Letting the casserole rest allows it to set and makes serving easier. You can customize with different proteins or vegetables for variety.
