Ingredients
  

  • INGREDIENTS:
  • 20 oz plain refrigerated shredded hash browns
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 8 ounces pepper jack or mozzarella cheese shredded off the block
  • 8 slices cooked bacon crumbled
  • 2 cups diced cooked ham
  • 6 ounces Canadian bacon diced
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 12 oz can evaporated milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chili powder green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • DIRECTIONS:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by coating it with nonstick spray.
  • In the prepared baking dish, layer the hash browns evenly across the bottom. Follow with the shredded cheeses, crumbled bacon, diced ham, and any additional ingredients like green onions or chili powder.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs and evaporated milk, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until fully combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Verify everything is well coated.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly and the top is golden brown. Let the casserole rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • When cooking Farmers Casserole, consider these extra tips: You can easily adjust the recipe to accommodate different dietary preferences by swapping out meats or cheeses as desired.
  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. If you plan to prepare it in advance, assemble the casserole the night before, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if cooking straight from the fridge.
  • Enjoy your delicious and hearty Farmers Casserole!
