Easy Denver Omelet Hash Brown Casserole Recipe – This egg casserole is loaded with eggs, potatoes, ham, cheese, and all the veggies in a Denver omelette.
Easy Breakfast Casserole has been one of my most popular recipes since 2013. It’s great because it comes together so quickly.
This easy hash brown casserole recipe takes just a few extra steps to chop up some vegetables. But, it’s definitely worth it!
How to make this egg casserole:
- In a large bowl, add frozen hash browns.
- Add chopped ham.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add chopped bell pepper and chopped yellow onion.
- Add halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic.
- Stir together.
- Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray.
- Pour the hash brown mixture into the dish.
- In a large bowl (I use the same bowl from the hash browns), add eggs.
- Add milk, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk to combine.
- Pour the eggs over the hash brown mixture.
- Bake for 1 hour.
- Cool at least 10 minutes before slicing.

I made it one time before and it was delicious. Can I add mushrooms next time
Lovely Recipe
I added one cup diced mushrooms and it was delicious! I also used I cup cheddar, 1 cup Monterey/ Colby instead of 2 cups cheddar in the mixture. Then topped with 1 cup each of the cheeses. I accidentally added a whole bag of shredded hashbrowns too so it took longer to cook but my family said it was amazing!
Can you substitute ham for pork sausage?
My family loved this casserole. They left no leftovers. Will make many more times. Very easy, very good.
I find this idea to be brilliant for times if ever I have ended up not having time to cook dinner after work, I came across this five days back and I very much am thankful to you for sharing your idea on here.
trying it now, great recipe. Making one of your chili dishes too THX 🙂
Can I make this and refrigerate all night and bake the next morning?
You could do that with any egg mixture/omelette setup. Just make sure to cover it properly b4 refrigeration. Maybe give it a quick stir/whisk before putting it in the oven.
You could keep it in the fridge for a few days if you need to.
I have made this ahead of time and placed it into a ziplock and frozen until I needed it. I placed in the fridge the night ahead of time to defrost and into the oven the next morning… worked beautifully.
Can this be frozen cooked or uncooked
I’m sure it’s a little more expensive and maybe not quite as good, but this makes a good “go to in a hurry” meal if you use frozen Potatoes O’Brien instead of preparing the real potatoes, onion and bell pepper. I know it is better to cook from scratch, but if I keep the Potatoes O’Brien, cheese and ham in the freezer (I always buy hams at holidays and either freeze or can much of the meat), with the help of my chickens, it is on hand for anyone to easily put together if I have company for dinner or for breakfast or if I am ill.
We generally have all these things on hand, but using frozen onion & peppers blend/ pepper stir fry, frozen hashbrowns or potatoes o’Brien from the refrigerated case would definitely reduce the preparation time
.
This dish will be perfect as a breakfast for dinner on a busy night.
Could stand alone or be served with a simple salad, fresh fruit, grits, warm honeybutter biscuits or a slice of toast
This looks like the most complete breakfast! I’m sure my family will love this!
Thanks Jeni! I hope you like it!!
I am always looking for breakfast casseroles for company and the holidays. This one is definitely a keeper!
Hi Julie.
I agree! This will probably be my breakfast this Christmas morning.
