I have hash browns and ham in the freezer from Easter -- this sounds perfect for next week. Thanks so much for posting it again -- I must've missed it the first time.

I am actually planning on trying this out over the weekend--bought the ingredients when I went to the store on Wednesday. Susan, thanks for the good review, and Grace, thanks for sharing your recipe. I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl!

Susan,
Thanks for posting this again. I am fairly new so missed it the first time around. I made it today and thought it was very good and my husband really liked it.
