Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole

"There are so many awesome reviews of this recipe that you may never even bother to read mine but . . . we have this at EVERY single family gathering. We have to plan the rest of the food around this r..." See moreecipe because the entire extended family insists upon this particular recipe. Others have brought different versions but they just don't cut it with the "fam." You cannot go wrong if you try this recipe. Don't subsitute cream of chicken or celery soup for the cream of potato. It's a key ingredient and worth the trip to the market to get it if you don't have it on hand."

"This is a wonderful casserole. The first time I made this dish my boyfriend thought it was too rich. He decided to give it one more try. I made it this past weekend. He loved it. Instead of using..." See more the sharp cheddar, I used medium cheddar. I also added 1/4c red bell peppers, 1/4c green bell peppers, and 1/4c onions, and 1/4c mushrooms. Also after I serve this onto a plate, I grate some fresh parmesean cheese to give it a little kick. The peppers added such a wonderful flavor to this dish. This is going to be a favorite for a long time. Enjoy. Thank you Melissa!"

"I followed the recipe precisely, and this was yummy. I did cover loosely with foil after about 20 minutes when it looked like the edges were browning too early, but next time I'm just going to let it..." See more go. I didn't think a cup of ham would be enough or that this would actually serve 12, but it was just right. I used diced hash browns instead of the shreds, and shredded parmesan from a bag instead of the shaker can. Next time I might throw in some chopped jalapenos or green chiles for more zip -- bacon crumbles would be good too -- and the earlier reviewer's breakfast burrito idea for leftovers also sounds fabulous! This was super-easy to make up the night before. Thanks!"
