Notes

    • Be sure to allow the hash browns to thaw first. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight, or use the defrost setting on the microwave. 
    • 1/2 cup of butter is equivalent to 1 stick.
    • I like to season up my ground beef with salt and black pepper as it browns. Feel free to add some chopped onion too.
    • Be sure to use an extra large bowl to make mixing easy.
    • If you let the casserole sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving, it will help it set up and hold together better.
