Description

Mexican cheese, green chiles, and taco seasoning give this egg, ham, and hash brown casserole a south-of-the-border flair the whole family will love.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 medium onion, chopped
5 cups shredded hash brown potatoes
3 cups diced ham
2 cups shredded taco-flavored cheese
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
8 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix, or more to taste
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
2 Spray a small pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
3 Transfer onions to a large bowl and mix in hash browns, ham, taco-flavored cheese, and chile peppers. Layer in the bottom of the prepared pan.
4 Whisk eggs, milk, sour cream, and taco seasoning together in a bowl. Pour on top of the hash brown layer.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes; check every 5 minutes toward the end.
6 Remove from the oven and spread Mexican cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Let casserole stand for 5 minutes to set before serving.
