Here's a great one!
I made this for my ward's Christmas party a couple weeks ago, and added it to the mix of 25 or so others on the serving table. But then I had so many people come up to me afterwards and say how good it was, and I've already sent the recipe out to some. So here it is - I hope you give it a try! My mom always makes that "souffle" Christmas casserole with ham and bread and cream of mushroom soup (you know the one - everyone has a slightly different version). That's tradition and all, but honestly, I think I like this one better...
WAKE-UP CASSEROLE
8 frozen hash brown patties (instead I used about half a package of frozen hash browns - the cubed kind)
4 c shredded cheddar cheese (i only used 2 - i don't know how 4 would even fit and 4 is way too much)
1 lb cubed fully cooked ham/bacon/sausage (ham is best in my opinion)
7 eggs (i used 8 just because i bought medium sized eggs instead of large, and i wanted to be sure it was enough)
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground mustard
Place hash browns in a single layer in a greased 13x9 baking dish. Sprinkle with ham and cheese. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt, and mustard. Pour over ham. Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Uncover; bake 15 mins longer or until edges are golden brown and knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
(I actually baked it for 45 minutes at 400, then removed the foil and did that for another 15... but only because I didn't get it in quickly enough to be ready for the party. I actually think I liked it cooked at the higher temp. It was a little crispy on the sides.)
Enjoy!! And Merry Christmas, everyone. :)
