It has often been told to me when I share this recipe that it is dangerous. I am told it is extremely addicting and tasty, difficult to stop at one serving.
That is exactly what I love to hear! It means that I am not alone in that feeling and it also means that everyone enjoys the food. This casserole is super cheesy and topped with a crunchy topping that will win you over.
This may resemble other recipes, and it is similar, but I have upped the flavor and the delight that one has when eating this casserole.
We have mixed the hashbrowns with not only cheese, but creamy soup, and a touch of sour cream to give it just a slight tang.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make my own hash browns?
You certainly could make your own. I prefer the ease of picking up our favorite frozen hash browns and using them.
Could I add meat to this recipe?
You can add any type of meat that you would like. That would make it a complete meal. I have made this with bacon, ground sausage, ground beef and even leftover Turkey. I could not complain about the flavor at all.
How do I store the leftovers?
When the dish has cooled completely, it can be placed in an airtight container and then into the refrigerator. You can keep the leftovers for up to 3 or 4 days.
Can I make this in advance?
You could make this one day in advance. I do not suggest putting the Corn Flakes on the top until you are baking it or reheating it to serve.
