My family always looks forward to this delicious, creamy Baked Hash Brown Casserole. It’s the perfect side dish for just about any meal. This hash brown is packed full of cheesy goodness and topped with a crunchy corn flake cereal crust. Don’t plan on having any leftovers of this dish, people always go back for a second helping on this potluck dish.
Credit for this delicious baked hash brown casserole totally goes to my sister-in-law. This is her dish that she brings to Christmas dinner every year. I finally asked for her recipe after my husband wouldn’t stop talking about how good it was. I swear he filled up his plate with the baked hash brown casserole then grabbed a few bites of everything else.
After making this recipe a few times and having TONS of leftovers, I figured out I could divide the recipe up into 2 portions and freeze the second portion for another day. It freezes really well.
This baked hash brown casserole is also perfect for brunch and makes a great dish to bring to a potluck. Just make sure to bring a full serving of this recipe (maybe even double it) if you’re going to serve a crowd.
This is just one of my many freezer friendly recipes I keep handy when I’m entertaining guests. I love the fact you can prepare this dish well in advance and pull out of the freezer the day before a party. Heat it in the oven just before your guests are scheduled to arrive for an easy party side dish.
Some of my other favorite freezer friendly party recipes include:
- Cheese Cappelletti
- Sweet’n Sour Meatballs
- Bacon Macaroni & Cheese
- Potato Bacon Casserole
- BBQ Hamburgers
