Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter. (This is approximately a 10-inch baking pan. See note below.) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Add hot sauce, if desired.
Add the hashbrowns, ham, bell pepper, onions, and cheese to the eggs in the bowl and stir to mix well. Pour into the greased pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the eggs have set and the casserole is lightly browned. Serve warm.
Notes
FREEZER MEAL: Let cool and then portion into freezer safe Ziplocs or resealable containers. The frozen portions of casserole can be thawed in the refrigerator first or reheated in the microwave straight from the freezer.I use a 3 quart baking dish to make this recipe. This is approximately a 10-inch square or 8x10 baking pan. A 9x13 pan will work as well. You will need to adjust the baking time for a shallower casserole.
