CONTEST-WINNING HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

Contest-Winning Hash Brown Casserole image

I first served this yummy casserole years ago at a family brunch for my husband's birthday. It was such a hit that it became a mainstay at our family get-togethers. It makes a delicious supper, too, served with fruit salad and crusty bread. -Jan Huntington, Painesville, Ohio
