Jane Ann did it again! Earlier this year, she made a really great casserole called Cheesy Hash Brown Potatoes. Several months later, she told me one day at work that she was going to bring in another casserole the next day as part of a breakfast celebration for one of her coworkers. I asked her if she would save me a piece and brought my camera to take a picture of it…I just had a feeling it would be really good and that I’d want to post the recipe on my blog! Well, the Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole she made was super-good…every bit as cheesy, creamy, and yummy as I thought it would be. If you are looking for something new to try for breakfast or brunch, I recommend this! How can you go wrong with ham, cheese, and potatoes? It’s like a breakfast in itself, but you can also serve it with other breakfast items like an egg casserole, fruit salad, pancakes, or even just biscuits or toast. Jane Ann found the recipe at Allrecipes.com.
