Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect crispy hash brown casserole, ensure the frozen hash browns are evenly distributed in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • For a richer, indulgent casserole, consider using half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Enhance the flavor profile by adding a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the milk mixture.
  • Incorporate a cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole before baking to add a melted, cheesy layer.
  • To ensure the casserole is cooked evenly, cover it tightly with aluminum foil during the baking process.
  • If desired, top the casserole with additional crispy fried onions just before serving for a visually appealing and flavorful touch.
