Comfort food at it’s finest!
This one is for my meat and potatoes friends…it’s a freezer friendly hashbrown and beef bake…and it’s to.die.for. This makes a 9×13’s worth, so you’ll have lots of leftovers (well, depending on how many you are serving.)
And I want to say this…I had a taste of these leftovers without warming them up and it was surprisingly delicious!
I think this would also be an amazing breakfast bake…if you made it with ground Italian sausage, instead of ground beef.
Hope you enjoy this hashbrown bake – for dinner, for breakfast, or even as chilled leftovers 😉

Would recommend using cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom?
Can this be prepared and frozen? Or just a day ahead and bake? Thanks!
