Recipe type: Breakfast, Supper
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
  • 32 oz frozen shredded hash browns
  • 16 oz of flavored sour cream chip dip of choice (I prefer French onion, party or ranch)
  • (1) 10 ¼ oz can cream of chicken soup
  • (3) Tbs milk
  • (2) cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • (2) cups ham, cooked and cubed
  • Topping:
  • 1 ½ cups crushed corn flakes
  • (3) Tbs melted butter
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients (except topping) and pour into a greased 9x13 pan. For topping combine melted butter and crushed cornflakes and spread evenly over mixture.
  2. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour.
Notes
You can add extra ham to make it a main dish, remove the ham and serve it as a side dish of potatoes when grilling or keep it as is, for a nice brunch alternative.
It can be made ahead of time and also can be frozen for ease on cooking day.

Freezing directions: Follow above direction however, do not add cornflake top as the result of the frozen topping will be soggy. Add cornflake topping after removing from freezer, right before baking or omit from recipe all together.

Lighter version:
Use light sour cream chip dip and/or omit buttery cornflake topping.
