Notes

Pro tip: thaw the hash browns well so the casserole doesn’t turn watery. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; reheat in the oven or microwave until hot. Freezing is not recommended because the egg and dairy texture can loosen after thawing. For a dairy-light swap, use low-fat cream cheese and light sour cream to reduce richness while keeping the casserole structure.
