Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Spray a small pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. (7 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer onions to a large bowl and mix in hash browns, ham, taco-flavored cheese, and chile peppers. Layer in the bottom of the prepared pan. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Whisk eggs, milk, sour cream, and taco seasoning together in a bowl. Pour on top of the hash brown layer. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes; check every 5 minutes toward the end. (60 minutes)

06

Step

Remove from the oven and spread Mexican cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Let casserole stand for 5 minutes to set before serving. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans to the hash brown mixture.
Spice it up by using pepper jack cheese instead of Mexican blend cheese.
Make ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Add about 15 minutes to the baking time.
Serve with your favorite toppings like avocado slices, sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
