Farmer's Casserole
"This wonderful casserole is the best 'breakfast casserole' I have ever eaten. It could easily be served at any time of day. I first ate it at a Wedding Shower and could hardly wait for the bride's mother to get the recipe for me from the Aunt who lived in another state. I am posting the recipe exactly as I received it...however I would personally increase the salt to 1 teaspoon instead of the 1/4th teaspoon since I remember adding salt when I ate it before."

Could you use fresh grated potatoes instead of frozen hash brown potatoes? -
best to use shredded or cubed frozen hash browns? -
What are the minimum and maximum amounts of time I can prepare this overnight recipe before baking? I had a busy morning and didn't get this in the fridge until 2pm. Will it be OK to start baking at 5:30pm today?

9/9/07 I have been making this for over 15 years and it is awesome. I always use pepper jack cheese because I found anything else to lack flavor in this dish. I have served this for brunches and family dinner. Serve with fresh fruit salad or melon slices along with Kona Inn Banana Bread and you have a wonderful brunch meal. UPDATE: 11/09 after reading these reviews I thought I would suggest using a large pie plate. It makes for a better presentation and easier serving.

This is delicious and even wonderful the next day warmed up. -
Great dinner tonight - and no work to make it because I took care of that this morning! We enjoyed this with turkey sausages and I also made a fresh fruit salad. I will make this again and maybe with some additions! Made for Best of 2012. Thanks CarrolJ! :) -
Just make it the way she said. Why change the ingredients? If you don't have any evaporated milk, get to the store and buy some. -

Good breakfast (w/leftovers for lunch). I made this in a 9x9 glass pan & sauteed green pepper, onion & sausage (instead of ham) & used American cheese & a little garlic. I didn't use the full amount of any ingredient. It is very good & the leftovers make a nice lunch the following day. Nuke x30 seconds.

I'd give it more like 4 1/2 stars, but my husband loved it!! I substituted chopped sweet onions for the green onions. I also added garlic powder, but next time I'll use minced fresh garlic. Definitely don't use 13X9! I used an 8 1/2 by 11 rectangle dish. I also cooked it covered for 50 minutes and uncovered for 20 minutes.
