### Tips for Making the Perfect Farmer’s Casserole
– **Customize Your Ingredients**: Feel free to swap out the **sausage** for any protein of your choice, like **ham**, **bacon**, or **vegetarian sausage**. You can also add in **sautéed vegetables**, such as bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms, to increase the veggie content.
– **Use Fresh Potatoes**: If you don’t have frozen hash browns, you can use fresh **diced potatoes**. Just make sure to sauté them in a skillet with a little oil or butter to soften them up before adding them to the casserole.
– **Make It Ahead**: One of the best parts about Farmer’s Casserole is that you can prepare it the night before. Simply assemble the casserole and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, bake it straight from the fridge. You may need to add an extra 10–15 minutes to the baking time if it’s cold from the fridge.
– **Add Spice**: For a little kick, add some **chopped jalapeños**, **hot sauce**, or **chili flakes** to the egg mixture.
– **Cheese Variations**: While **cheddar cheese** is classic, you can experiment with other cheeses such as **mozzarella**, **pepper jack**, or even **cream cheese** for a creamy texture.
– **Freeze for Later**: Farmer’s Casserole is freezer-friendly. If you make a big batch, simply freeze individual portions in airtight containers for a quick and hearty meal later.
