    farmers breakfast casserole with sour cream

    I love this old school Farmers Breakfast Casserole. Super easy to make using a handful of simple ingredients you probably already have at home.

    Ham & Diced Hashbrowns

    It really doesn't get much simpler than this to make a wonderful breakfast casserole. A handful of ingredients mixed together in a casserole dish and less than 1 hour to bake.

    💭 Ingredient Substitution

    You can easily customize this recipe to your liking by making any of the following substitutions. Use chopped Bacon instead of Ham. Use shredded hashbrowns instead of the diced. Or green chilies instead of the green onions.

    ingredients for breakfast casserole

    I like to serve this breakfast casserole with a little bit of salsa and sour cream. If you are serving kids, you may want to sere it with a little ketchup.

    A key step to ensure this recipe turns out is letting it sit in the refrigerator before baking. I recommend a minimum of 4 hours but you can make it the day before and let it sit overnight.

      I love this breakfast casserole. Great for a brunch or when having company. Very tasty and easy to make. I did make it the day before and refrigerated it until the next morning. Saved a lot of time. Great recipe.
