How to Make Cheesy Loaded Hash Browns Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease or spray a 13x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 1 green bell pepper, chopped, and 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the flour is absorbed and a light roux forms.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of milk. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Add 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, 1 cup diced cooked ham, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until hash browns are heated through and slightly softened.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  10. Stir until the cheese is melted and well combined.
  11. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  12. Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
