I made the farmer's casserole Saturday night and served it Sunday morning.
It was delicious!
Here are some comments that may be helpful to others--since I refridgerated it overnight, I baked it for an hour. After this time, the eggs looked set, however it was still a little watery in the middle. By the time we served it (maybe about 15 min later) the water was gone.
I used the refridgerated hash browns instead of the frozen.
Also...there were four of us and we ate the whole thing. If you were feeding 6, I'd recommend adding an extra egg or two and a handful more potatoes, cheese, bacon/ham.
I used cheddar cheese. Next time I'm going to try the pepper jack cheese and maybe serve salsa on the side.
This was very easy and my family loved it!

It was a Farmer's Casserole weekend! I made mine up with the cheddar cheese Saturday night and baked it Sunday morning. Easy and great! I think I'm going to try making it ahead and then freezing it like I do quiches and see how that turns out.
