How do you prepare a casserole to freeze?

You will prep the casserole as you would like you are going to make it. Leave the breadcrumbs off, and then cover them in aluminum foil. I tend to wrap two layers of foil on top of the casserole.

Then you will freeze for 3-4 months. When you want to eat, place in a cold oven and bake for 40 minutes with the foil on at 350 degrees. Then remove the foil and bake for another hour or until it is done. The last 20 minutes you will add breadcrumbs to the last bit of cooking.

Should you bake a breakfast casserole before freezing?

You can freeze a breakfast casserole before cooking if the meat or protein is fully cooked. Now if your casserole has raw meat then you will want to cook it fully first.

I find that using raw eggs like a breakfast bake with eggs, then I would cook it first before I froze it as the eggs will hold up better baked fully then raw.

Why is my hash brown casserole soggy?

If your casserole is soggy you might need to bake it longer. The biggest thing is since you are mixing raw hash browns with the other ingredients it will stay softer and it won’t create crispy hash browns.
