Farmers Casserole

For our last small group meals we made one of my favorite recipes from my Better Homes and Garden Cookbook 12th Edition: Farmer's Casserole. What sounds rather ordinary and might contain potatoes, green bean and some sort of farm animal is actually full of my favorite items from breakfast all rolled into one dish. Farmer's Casserole includes; hash-browns, cheese, Canadian bacon, green onions, eggs and milk.

We double the recipe to make the casserole for 12 people and we began by laying the frozen hash-browns at the bottom of my largest and polka dotted casserole dish , then add the cheese Monterrey Jack or Cheddar or both, ham and onion. Then we pored the 8 beaten eggs and milk over the ingredients. The eggs sunk to the bottom leaving the ham and onions on the top.

Then we baked in for 55 minutes and the with a beach towel, trivets and pot holders we carefully loaded the very heavy and hot casserole in to the back of our car. At small group when ask what was in it, we answered and they then said "no wonder it is so good."
