A quick and easy family favorite casserole put together in 1-bowl with 5-ingredients in 5-minutes!
The other night I was putting a few things away as my husband and I were getting ready for bed. Just as he was getting out of his chair, it hit me… I completely forgot to tell him earlier in the night that I needed gas in my car.
So, as all of us do when we want something, I laid it on reeeeeal thick. Then I said, “Do you love me?” He responded with, “Of course.” Then I stepped up my game with, “Do you really, really love me?” He said, “Yes, I really, really love you.” Then I reminded him one more time with, “You love me a whooooole lot?” He was on to me and asked, “What do you want?” HA!
Then I told him, with a great big ‘ole smile! I got the look. Instead of saying what he was really thinking, he held back most of it and said, “Alright, I’ll go fill up your car.” So off he went, at 9 o’clock at night, in his pj’s to fill up my car so I didn’t have to do it in the morning!
Now, THAT is true love.
This Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole is one of my favorite go-to recipes! Why?
- They are super quick AND easy to make. It takes 5 minutes, yes 5 MINUTES, to put this casserole together. Yet, it looks like it required effort so you feel like Betty Crocker when they come out of the oven!
- Everyone loves them! If you need a last minute meal for your family or a dish to take to a potluck – these cheesy hash browns are your solution!
- They reheat really well. It’s as if you are eating them fresh out of the oven after you reheat them in the microwave!
- Sometimes cheesy hash browns can be greasy. I don’t like that, I like them to be creamy and more casserole-like instead of soupy!
- Did I mention they are quick AND easy to make? Good. Just wanted to make sure!
