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.
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.
