Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with melted butter.
  3. Spread the thawed hash browns evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the potatoes, followed by the diced ham and sliced green onions.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
Cooking

  2. Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve warm, either on its own or with a fresh salad or some fruit. Add sour cream or salsa for extra flavor. Allow leftovers to cool before storing; they last 3-4 days in the refrigerator or up to 2 months in the freezer. Fresh ingredients yield a brighter flavor. You can customize with your choice of vegetables or meats.
