Holly's Hash-Brown Hot Dish

Recently I reached out to a lot of my friends for family recipes that Adam and I could make and add to our family cook book. There is a recipe I have been dying to try from our close friend Holly because it is a true "Minnesotan Hot-Dish" recipe. It is packed with ham, cheese, hash-browns, calories, and love. Holly came to visit us this past weekend and with the first real cold front of the season it only seemed appropriate to make a huge plate of hot dish! 

This recipe is cheap and easy to make, it  freezes well, and it fed 3 adult humans from Thursday-Sunday. You can add an egg for a yummy breakfast, or just enjoy it microwaved when you're in a rush. It is pretty calorie heavy but a winter must. It should be noted that I did forget to use the Parmesan cheese as an end-factor to sprinkle on top for a nice crust and instead mixed it in with the rest, but rest assured that it is great either way!
