Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 package (32 oz) Frozen Shredded Hash Browns
- 1 cup diced Ham
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 tub (8 oz) Sour Cream
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided
- 1 tablespoon chopped Scallion
- Nonstick Cooking Spray, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously spray a 2.5-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the frozen shredded hash browns, diced ham, condensed cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, ensuring uniform cooking. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is hot throughout and the cheese on top is melted and browned.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped scallions. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a crispier top, broil the casserole for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Feel free to substitute the ham with cooked bacon or sausage for a different flavor profile.
- You can add extra vegetables such as diced bell peppers or onions for added nutrition and color.
- To reduce sodium, use low-sodium cream of mushroom soup and ham.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
