Ham and Egg Breakfast Bake

This came out really good. Even though I’m not a big fan of green peppers, they were really good in this recipe. I diced them finely, so you could still taste them, but you never really bitE into one. I prepared this last night and I baked it this morning…it was so easy. Plus, I can do so many variations to this. Instead of ham, I could use sausage. I could do a vegetarian and not include any meat. Or i could add different kinds of veggies and meat. This is one I’m definitely going to make again.

I took the base of this recipe from Betty Crocker, but I added and changed a few things and I think it came out better with the changes.

Edit on 3/23: My father tried this for Easter weekend, however he made two different versions. My sister doesn’t like green peppers, and he was making a ham to go along with it, so he didn’t add any meat to either batch and he left out the veggies in one of them. I have to say, without the meat and veggies, you need to cut back the liquid.

Edit on 4/26: I tried this recipe with maple flavored sausage and I think it would have came out good if I hadn’t also used southwestern flavored hash browns. Needless to say, the two flavors together didn’t work out well. Using different flavored hash browns is good, but you need to make sure the meat doesn’t clash with it. I’m hoping to try this recipe with sausage again, but with the correct hash browns.

Ingredients:
1 cup cooked, diced Ham
1 pkg Hash Browns (Betty Crocker Seasoned)
Green Bell Pepper
Onions
2 cups shredded (8oz) Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Bisquick
3 cups Milk
1/2 tsp Pepper, black
4 Eggs (or 1 cup egg product)

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches.
  2. Layer ham, potatoes, bell pepper, onion and 1 cup of the cheese in baking dish. Stir Bisquick mix, milk, pepper and eggs until blended. Pour into baking dish; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  3. Bake uncovered 30 to 35 minutes or until light golden brown around edges and cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes.
