Turkey sausage is leaner, while ground beef is often less expensive.

milk

Spray an 8x8 casserole dish with cooking spray.

Layer 3 cups of frozen hash browns evenly in the dish using your hands.

Sprinkle 4 oz of shredded pepper jack cheese on top of the hash browns.

Add 1 cup of cooked ham, cut into bite-sized pieces, on top of the cheese.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of green onion on top of the ham.

In a bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 can of evaporated milk.

Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the casserole dish.

Press down with a spoon to ensure everything is coated with the egg mixture.

Let the casserole sit out on the counter for at least 30 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the casserole for 45 to 50 minutes or until the center is set.

Let it cool down a little before cutting.
