do you use the jalapenos in the shredded cheddar cheese to
This sounds delicious. I will use Cheddar cheese.
It was very good. I muted the flavor to suit my husband’s taste: part mozzarella and part taco cheese; dairy case garlic & herb hash browns instead of the southwestern flavor I like, a pound of crumbled bulk sausage fried before adding. My husband had three helpings. The timing was on the mark. Leaving it uncovered gives a nice crust as I sprinkled a bit of the cheese on top also.
I have fresh not frozen hash browns. Will the cooking time be effected by that?
yeah, just cook it till the eggs are see- keep checking.I use a toothpick for the center of the dish.
Could I double the recipe and bake it in a larger casserole dish (9×13)?
YES!!! That is typically what I like to do with this recipe. It’s too good not too!
Can you freeze the leftovers?
yes!
Thank you so much for the recipe. It was delicious! My husband loved it. I added some green pepper since we had so many from the garden. Fresh
Fruit and cranberry orange muffins accompanied. Thanks again!
Unless i missed it, I didn’t see number of servings for the Farmers Casserole. Please advise. i look forward to your response. recipe looks yummy.
Thanks,
Depending on serving size, if you are feeding adults I would say this recipe serves 4-6. You make it in a 9×13 pan, so it depends on how large you want the servings to be.
Where did you get that adorable little dish that you made it in? Does it have a lid? CUte as pie.
oh yeah this would kill for father’s day at our house!
