Mom's SPAM® Hash Brown Egg Bake Recipe: This Breakfast Casserole Will Make You Rethink SPAM® by Heather Holter

Occasionally we have breakfast for dinner. This easy SPAM® and hash brown egg bake recipe has survived the rotation through the years. For a nontraditional egg breakfast casserole recipe, this is my family's favorite. Yes, I know it's SPAM. Just try it – you may like it!

Here is your shopping list for this easy breakfast casserole: a can of SPAM, frozen hash brown patties, cheddar cheese (slices and shredded), eggs, milk and black pepper. The hearty ingredients are layered in a casserole dish and then baked until the eggs are set. So easy!

Serve this SPAM, potato and eggs dish for breakfast, brunch or breakfast for dinner. Add a side of fresh fruit and a glass or orange juice for a tasty meal the entire family will enjoy.

Fun SPAM Fact: According to TIME magazine, "Ken Digneau, the brother of a Hormel executive, came up with the name – a portmanteau word for 'spiced ham' – in a naming contest and got $100 as a reward. The new product was introduced on July 5, 1937."

• Add some chopped green onions or fresh chives to the eggs for a little freshness.

2. Arrange 6 slices of cheese over that layer.
   
3. Cut the SPAM into 12 slices and arrange over the cheese.
   
4. Combine the milk and eggs and whisk until lightly beaten.
   
5. Pour egg mixture over SPAM layer.
