Key to Success #1 – Set a Firm Foundation
Ham and cheese form the heart of this breakfast casserole.
Ham adds a touch of saltiness that pairs deliciously with all that melty cheese, so don’t skimp on either ingredient!
You can also mix things up by adding your favorite veggies like peppers or onions for extra flavor.
Layer these ingredients in a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish and bake until golden brown.
If you want to get creative in the kitchen, why not try swapping out regular potatoes with shredded hashbrowns or cubed breakfast potatoes?
Your guests will be surprised and delighted!
Key to Success #2 – Make It Hammy and Cheesy
Hammy I am, indeed!
For those with a taste for ham like myself, it’s best to check the refrigerated section of the supermarket.
But if your options are limited and all you can find is canned diced ham – don’t stress because that will work just as well.
As far as cheese goes though?
Opting for a mozzarella blend rather than plain-jane mooz won’t disappoint!
Not feeling adventurous today?
Go ahead and use cheddar cheese instead; let your tastebuds do some exploring at another time.
With its combination of savory ham, melty cheese, and crunchy tater tots all in one easy dish, you won’t find yourself rushing to get breakfast on the table.
Key to Success #3 – Spice Things Up
If you’re feeling ambitious, why not get a little adventurous with this breakfast casserole?
Don’t be shy – add some Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning and give it an extra kick.
Go the full mile with one whole tablespoon of spice!
Then take things up another notch by adding in optional green chiles for that southwestern flare.
