Breakfast, lunch, dinner, potluck, funeral, church social, snack, whatever! This creamy hash brown casserole is pure comfort food, good for any occasion!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 13" x 9" or 10" x 10" casserole dish with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients (except the additional cheese for sprinkling) until well combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and seal tightly. Bake for 45−50 minutes until the center is hot and the edges have begun to brown.
Remove from the oven, uncover and sprinkle a bit more cheese over the top. Use the heat of the casserole to melt the cheese or just pop it back into the oven for 2 minutes.
Allow the casserole to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
Notes
Defrosting hash browns in the microwave before baking makes this even faster to bake.
