Breakfast Casserole

I usually make this in a 9x13 pan, but for a family reunion, we tried it in the dutch oven. Yum! I like the extra moistness; Tom did not prefer it. Perhaps in the future I'll cover it during baking then turn the broiler on at the end to crisp the top to please Tom.

12 oz. bag of frozen shredded hash browns

1/2 cup melted butter (or less)

1/2 cup milk

1 lb. bacon, sausage or ham, cooked, crumbled or chopped

4 eggs

1 1/2 cup shredded cheese

1/2 cup green onions & green peppers (both optional)

Brown hash browns in frying pan in butter until browned. (You probably could skip this part.) Spread hash browns in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle meat and cheese over potatoes. Beat eggs and milk together. Salt and pepper as desired. Add desired veggies. Pour over all. Bake 30 minutes or until set.

This could be made up the night before and put in the oven in the morning.
