- Move rack to center of oven. Set oven to 350ºF.
- (Optional) Unwrap American cheese slices and place side-by-side in two rows on top of the hash brown mixture. (This will make the final casserole gooier in the middle.).
- Sprinkle the ham and bacon pieces evenly over hash browns. Sprinkle the cheddar and jack cheeses evenly over the meat.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add eggs, milk, salt, onion powder, black pepper, and celery salt. Stir until combined.
- Slowly pour egg mixture over casserole dish contents to distribute the mixture evenly and minimize shifting of other ingredients.
- Bake, uncovered for 45 minutes or until top of casserole begins to brown and a knife inserted toward the center comes out clean.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a Southern Illinois college student working toward a degree in Computer Engineering. That is, until the economy went to crap. So, now I'm working to earn enough money to finance my final year of education. I plan to do a lot of cooking in the mean time. It's such a great stress relief and I like trying new things. My family has both French Canadian and Southern IL Redneck background. There are a lot of family recipes floating around and I'm happy to show them off.
