This was SO easy to make, and delicious too! I doubled the recipe (and baked in two 7x11 pans), and instead of green chilis I used a can of Rotel tomatoes/chili blend. I also substituted low fat sausage for the ham, and used a Mexican cheese blend. I baked one right away and it turned out great! I'm taking the other one to a brunch in the morning, so it was a perfect way to make a great dinner for my family and prepare the breakfast dish as well! This recipe is a keeper! I agree with the review that said this dish is great with salsa! I also cut up an avocado for garnish.

This was best breakfast casserole I have ever had! I took it to our church Christmas breakfast and was told it was the winner! I made it with bacon, left out the chilies, and added some tobasco sauce to the egg mixture. Yummy!

I love, love, love this recipe!!! I have made it several times using bacon or sausage instead of ham and it turns out really good but there is something with the ham that makes it excellent.

My favorite to make for guests.

I doubled recipe in 9x12 pyrex, used evap milk and half and half. I also replaced ham for cooked sausage. Was a big hit with the kids. I also omitted the green chilies. Thank-you and I will keep on file!

This was an excellent casserole to bring to brunch! I added sausage and bacon, excluded the chilies, it was absolutely delicious, the whole family enjoyed it, kids and all.

I made this for Boxing Day morning! Everyone loved it. I omitted the chilies, used TexMex shredded cheese, 6 oz. evaporated milk and 1/2 c. sour cream. I actually left a small corner without ham so that a friend of ours who is a vegan, could enjoy this!

I made this for a Christmas brunch. I used O'Brien potatoes & left out the chiles. I only had cheddar cheese on hand, so used 1 cup of that & left out the Monterey Jack. My family liked it a lot.

I made this for Christmas breakfast. It was a hit! There was a little left over, my son said it wasn't bad heated up.
