HAM AND CHEESE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray, or grease with butter.
• Add the shredded hashbrowns into the pan.
• Melt a stick of butter in a small bowl, and pour evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper. Use a spoon to gently toss it all together, then spread it out so that it's even.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned on top. Remove from oven, stir, and cook for 10 more minutes.
• Remove the hashbrowns and reduce the oven temperature to 350 °F.
• In a large bowl whisk together 8 eggs, evaporated milk, seasoned salt, kosher salt, pepper, dry mustard, and onion powder.
• Add ham and cheese, and stir to combine.
• Pour the mixture evenly over the top of the hashbrowns.
• Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and the center doesn't jiggle when you shake the pan.

HAM CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta to the water and cook until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and lightly grease a 9x13 or similar baking dish.
• Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or similar large, deep pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until beginning to soften, about 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle in the flour, then cook whisking often, until the flour is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
• Gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly, then the half and half. Continue to cook until the sauce simmers and thickens, about 7 minutes.
• Remove from heat, then stir in the salt and nutmeg, then the Greek yogurt, cheddar, and half of the sage.
• Add the drained pasta and ham, toss gently to coat.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• Combine the breadcrumbs and olive oil in a small bowl and sprinkle over the top of the pasta. Cover the dish with foil, then bake for 10 minutes covered. Uncover and bake 10 additional minutes, until the crumbs are golden and the pasta is hot and bubbly. If desired, turn your broiler to high to finish browning the crumbs, watching them carefully so that they do not burn. Remove baked pasta from the oven, sprinkle with remaining sage, and serve.

HAM & CHEESE PARTY PLATTER LEFTOVER BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• While putting away the party leftovers --
• Grease 13x9 pan with butter; spread bread/bun cubes over entire bottom of pan (use more or fewer buns if using a larger/smaller pan).
• Sprinkle ham pieces and cheese slices over bread; set aside.
• Mix eggs and milk until frothy, add several squirts of mustard, beat and then pour over the ham, cheese, bread cubes.
• Customize the toppings to the eaters' choices. (Dad likes everything, but Mom doesn't want tomatoes, and DS would rather kiss a rattlesnake than eat onions, so let's make everyone happy!).
• Add another layer of leftover cheese; sprinkle sausage dices artfully (or optionally). Olive slices can go on now, too or any other little tidbits of really tasty niblets.
• Top pan with foil; chill until morning or leave on the counter if you're a brave soul.
• Next morning - pop pan in oven, set to 350*. Bake for 20-30 minutes, remove foil, bake for another 3-5 minutes until top is bubbly and "set".
• VARIATIONS: Use your favorite cheese, try turkey instead of ham.
• Great way to use up the cheese and sausage tray that was forgotten in the fridge!
• EXTRAS: black or green olives.
• Par-cook: stuff from the veggie tray (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots).
• DELISH: add a few smidgens (or a LOT!) of the veggie dip to the egg/custard bowl -- or drop on top in cheerful dollops. Oh yum!
