Make the casserole: Stir the hash browns, pepper Jack cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper in a large bowl until combined. Evenly spoon the hashbrown mixture into the prepared dish. Top evenly with ham mixture. Whisk the eggs, milk, sour cream, hot sauce, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 pepper in a large bowl until combined. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham mixture. Evenly sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Cover with aluminum foil. You can assemble this casserole in advance and refrigerate it, covered, for up to 12 hours before baking.Simply Recipes / Photo by Fred Hardy / Food Styling by Jennifer Wendorf / Prop Styling by Lindsey LowerSimply Recipes / Photo by Fred Hardy / Food Styling by Jennifer Wendorf / Prop Styling by Lindsey Lower
