Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Pour the sour cream mixture over the hash brown mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Mix until the breadcrumbs are coated evenly with oil.

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole to create a crunchy topping.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
