This farmers casserole is a hearty breakfast bake made with hash browns, eggs, cheese, and meat, and it’s easy to customize with your favorite add-ins.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 2 or 3-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns evenly in the bottom of the baking dish, then top with 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese, 1 cup diced ham, and ⅓ cup sliced green onions.
Whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper in a medium bowl, then pour over the potato mixture.
Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, until a knife comes out clean from the center. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
