Important Recipe Notes
- Make sure your frozen shredded hashbrowns are fully thawed before mixing. This helps everything cook evenly and avoids extra moisture in the casserole.
- If your broccoli or hashbrowns seem watery, gently pat them dry with a paper towel before adding to the dish so the casserole doesn’t turn soggy.
- Keep the ham, broccoli, and green onions in small, bite-sized pieces so every slice of the casserole has a little bit of everything.
- The center should be fully set and not jiggly. If needed, bake a few extra minutes after removing the foil.
- Let it rest before slicing: Allow the casserole to sit for about 5–10 minutes after baking so it firms up and cuts neatly.
- For extra flavor, you can mix a little cheese into the casserole and also sprinkle some on top for a golden, cheesy crust.
