Is it ok to switch out the potatoes for hash browns?
I have not tried that!
How would you make this if you wanted to prep it the night before? Would you put it in the fridge before the cheese step or would you bake and reheat the next day?
I would bake the next day!
Could I add cream cheese to this? Would that be good or just be overkill?
You can give it a shot!
So easy to make & so good, prepped it the night before.
That looks delicious, Angie!
If you were to make this ahead, I would guess you’d get up to the step of putting cheese on top. When ready to bake, top with cheese and bake for how long to warm it up?
Can you freeze this?
Can I make this the night before and refrigerate?
So cheesy and delicious! Such a hearty way to start the day.
AGREE!
Oh my goodness, I could almost eat this whole casserole myself, SO good!
Thanks Kimberly!
My family loved this one, thank you!
So happy to hear that!
