Ingredients

cooking spray
3 cups frozen Southern-style hash browns
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.13 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x11-inch casserole dish generously with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine hash browns, eggs, ham, Cheddar-Jack cheese, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Gently shake the dish from side to side to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Bake the breakfast bars, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the top begins to brown, approximately 40 minutes. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into desired sizes.
