Easy Breakfast Casserole for Two - Just 6 Ingredients
Keep breakfast simple but filling with this easy small-batch casserole made with ham, potatoes, eggs, cheese, milk, and pancake mix. Leftovers are likely for a second meal.
Servings: 4 people
Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 2 qt casserole dish
Ingredients
- 5 oz cubed ham (can)
- 2 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (southern style O'Brien recommended)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar shredded cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pancake baking mix
Instructions
- Grease baking dish. Add contents of canned ham to the dish. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cook frozen potatoes in skillet with a little oil. Add seasonings if desired. Cook until most of the moisture is evaporated. Add to dish and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over meat and potatoes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, pancake mix, and any other seasonings you prefer. Pour over ingredients in dish. Add remaining cheese on top.
- Bake 30 minutes, or until the top of the casserole is golden.
Notes
- I like to use a mix of onion and garlic powders, as well as salt and pepper while I'm cooking the potatoes.
- If you like minced onion, I recommend sprinkling some at the bottom of the greased dish.
- The 5 ounce can of diced ham I use is the Great Value brand at Walmart. Feel free to use two cans if you prefer more meat in the casserole.
- If you don't like ham, you may substitute it for at least half a pound of sausage, ground turkey, or ground beef. Crumbled bacon also works!
