Ham-Apple-Cheddar Casserole

• 3 cups frozen loose-pack diced hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 1 large red apple, cored and chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried sage, crushed
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 4 eggs
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I like sharp)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Press thawed potatoes between paper towels to remove moisture; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook apple and sage in hot melted butter until tender; remove pan from heat.
3. Combine apple mixture, potatoes, and ham in a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, cheese, and salt together; pour egg mixture over potato mixture.
5. Bake, uncovered, at 350u0b0 (preheated) for 35-40 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
