Farmers Casserole Santa Fe Style Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Pollymotzko / All my dishes 9 months, 3 weeks ago I found this on the Safeway website and was searching for a good recipe for the O’Brian Potatoes I have along with evaporated milk, which makes so many dishes good. I added some things and made a few substitutions and ended up with a version that... More Prep:15m Cook:60m Servings:6	Pollymotzko

Ingredients

3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes or O’Brian potatoes-like I’m using here

3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup diced, cooked ham or sausage or other meat of your choice

1/4 cup chopped onions

4 eggs, beaten or 1 cup of egg substitute which is what I use and it works great!

1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk-I’m using the regular kind but you can use lower fat versions if you like.

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon salt

In place of the black pepper and the salt add about ½ teaspoon of Emerille La Gasse’s

Original Essence-I found mine at Sam’s Club in a massive container and it was the same price as the smaller ones!

If you like a more “snappy” flavor to your egg dishes which I like add:

1 small can of Ortega mild green chilies, diced

Top with: Pace salsa or any other salsa you happen to like. Another good one is Trader Joe’s Garlic Salsa…great flavor and one of dozens they make!

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease a 2 quart baking dish.

Arrange hash brown potatoes evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.

Sprinkle with the cheese, ham, and green onions.

In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, evaporated milk, seasoning of choice and green chilies, if using them.

Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture in the dish.

The dish may be covered and refrigerated at this point for several hours or overnight.

Bake for 60 OR MORE...until the egg is done and set-in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let stand 5 minutes before serving and top with your selection of salsa although I love the Pace varieties. If anyone is interested in salsa’s that I’ve tried and other uses for them I can give you dozens of ideas.

Once again, use this as a Springboard and feel free to make other additions to personalize this into your family’s favorite.

I will be writing a cookbook and compiling family favorites with my own favorites. I have several hundred that were in a cookbook I created on Polly Motzko’s Favorites on Master Cook. I need to try and rescue my book back as my computer crashed and destroyed everything on it last year. My sister has a copy of my cookbook, thank goodness!

Happy Cooking and feel free to share your recipes, tips and what not sometime.

I’m in Southern CA and I created a Cooking Club on Group Recipes.com called:

The Southern CA Cooking Club. If you’d like more info about that and how you can join or any other groups I’ve created, just drop me a line and before you know it we’ll be communicating and on to making some “delectable edibles” as I call them.

I ended up doubling the egg/evaporated milk mixture which consists of 1 cup egg substitute and 1 12.oz. can evaporated milk. I used 1 whole onion very thinly diced on a mandoline broked up between 8 x 8 silicone pans set on a standard metal pan for stability.
I added 1 small can of sliced, mild fire roasted ortega chilies to the top of the potatoes, onion, then the chilies.
I made one pan with chilies and one without in case my mom didn't like the chilies.
I added about 10 slices of very lean, cooked smoked bacon to the top of the chilies then poured the milk/egg mixture in.
I then sprinkled the Emerille La'Gasse Original Seasoning on top of the assembled dishes just before going into the oven.

Enjoy & Happy Valentine's Day 2009!

Note: I didn't have the cheddar cheese that I thought I did but had some American Cheese slices. So, when the casseroles come out of the oven and are just about done I'll add some to the top of the casseroles in an artful pattern and then return them to the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese, then I'll serve with salsa to garnish.
