Notes
- For a little extra kick, try adding 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits or diced ham into the casserole mix.
- You can use fresh diced potatoes instead of frozen hash browns; just adjust the cooking time accordingly until the potatoes are tender.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
