Should I thaw frozen hash browns before cooking?

If using frozen hashbrowns, it is better to leave them frozen when you begin cooking them. Thawing will cause them to become sticky and mushy because the texture changes as they defrost.

Can I use fresh hash browns instead of frozen ones?

Sure! Shred the potatoes evenly and cook. They will cook slightly faster than frozen hashbrowns, but they are a simple substitution.

Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole Tips

Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect hash brown breakfast casserole:

  1. Use frozen hash browns for ease and convenience. There’s no need to thaw them first – just add them straight from the freezer to the casserole dish.
  2. If you prefer, you can use fresh hash browns. Just be sure to cook them before adding them to the casserole so they’re nice and crispy.
  3. For extra flavor, try mixing in some shredded cheese into the hash browns before assembling the casserole.
  4. Don’t forget the diced tomatoes! They add a nice pop of color and flavor to the dish.
  5. This casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated when you’re ready to eat. Just be sure to let it cool completely before storing in the fridge.
  6. If you want a really crispy top, you can broil the casserole for a few minutes before serving. Just keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole Variations

If you’re looking for a change from the traditional hash brown breakfast casserole, there are plenty of ways to mix things up. Here are a few of my favorite variations:

  • For a Southwest twist, mix in some diced green chiles, shredded Mexican cheese, and chopped cilantro.
  • Try adding some cooked sausage or ham for a heartier dish.
  • Mix in some sautéed veggies like onions, peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Use different kinds of cheese for different flavors. Cheddar is classic, but you could also try Swiss, Gruyère, or even goat cheese.

How Long to Bake

You will need to bake for about 45 minutes. The eggs need to be cooked all the way through. So check them, and if they are still jiggly, then you should add more baking time. Add 5-10 minutes and check again. Bake until the eggs are cooked through.

What About the Leftovers?

Allow the hash brown breakfast casserole time to cool, then cover and place it in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Can you prep Sausage Breakfast Casserole Overnight?

Yes, follow all of the directions except for baking the casserole. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to bake.

Storing Instructions

Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Keep it in a food-safe airtight container, and it will last for 4 days. Reheat before eating.

Freezing Instructions

Wrap each piece of breakfast casserole in a piece of plastic wrap. Then put all of them in a freezer container. They will last up to three months. Grab an individual serving or as many servings as you need and reheat.

How do you reheat hash brown casserole?

You can place the casserole in the oven and heat it at 350 degrees for 12–15 minutes or until it’s hot. Or you can place it on a plate and microwave it for 1-2 minutes or until hot.
