My favorite kind of recipes in a nutshell: 1) simple, 2) make ahead, 3) crowd-pleasers, and 4) plenty of leftovers. My Broccoli, Ham, and Cheese Hash Brown Bake recipe checks all the boxes! This easy breakfast casserole is perfect to meal-prep for busy weeks, guaranteed to make your mornings a little less stressful! The best part?! There’s basically no prep work needed – you just combine a handful of ingredients and bake. It’s really too good to be true. My hash brown bake makes 8 hearty servings at 6 WW Blue SmartPoints and 10 WW Green SmartPoints or 340 calories each.
Now, let’s talk about the good stuff – what’s inside! I mentioned earlier that you just need a handful of ingredients. The bake is filled with shredded potatoes, diced ham, broccoli, eggs, and cheddar cheese. Such a yummy combo! You simply combine the ingredients with a few spices and bake. You’ll be set with tasty breakfasts for the whole week!
For the diced ham I picked up a package of new-to-me SmithfieldⓇ Anytime FavoritesⓇ Diced Ham which I found located in the pork section at my local Meijer. This great product is so convenient and super versatile! You can make so many quick meals with it. It would be perfect to add to salads, omelets, lunch wraps, snack plates – you name it! Any product that comes pre-prepped and saves me time is a winner in my book.
Along with the pre-diced ham we need a bag of frozen hash browns, frozen broccoli, skim milk, eggs, and shredded cheese. Told ya it was easy, huh?! The casserole literally has everything you need: soft potatoes, flavorful ham, veggies, and nutty cheese that’s all held together with eggs.
While I like to meal prep this casserole for easy breakfasts to eat during the week, it would also be fabulous served for brunch. It reheats perfectly and when I have a few extra minutes I like to throw it in the air fryer to get the outside a little extra crispy – yum! I always pair the hash brown bake with a side of fresh fruit for a delicious, complete meal.
