Farmer’s Casserole

24 oz. bag shredded hash browns

¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 beaten eggs
12 ounce can evaporated milk
¼ tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
¼ cup sliced green onions (optional)
4.5 ounce can green chilies (optional) 

In a grease 2-quart square baking dish (I used my 9x13 stone). Arrange potatoes evenly in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with cheeses, ham, green chilies. and green onions. In a medium mixing bowl combine eggs, milk, pepper, and salt. Pour egg mixture over the potate mixture in the dish. Bake, uncovered, 350 degrees for 40 - 45 minutes, until potatoes are done. If you would like, top with extra cheese the last 15 minutes.
