Spray the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.

In a bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, 1.5 cups milk or cream, 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Layer half of the 32 oz frozen cubed hash browns in the bottom of the crock pot.

Add half of the 2 cups diced ham on top of the hash browns.

Sprinkle half of the 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese over the ham.

Add the remaining hash browns, then the rest of the ham, and finally the rest of the cheese on top.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the crock pot without stirring.

Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the eggs are set.

Let the casserole rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
