Notes

  • Do not cover while baking to keep hash browns crispy.
  • Frozen hash browns can be used directly without thawing.
  • Cheddar gives the best flavor, but other melting cheeses also work well.
  • Can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
  • Ground turkey or chicken can replace beef.
