Hash Brown Casserole

I love breakfast for dinner, and I recently made a Hash Brown Casserole one night for dinner.

I made some changes to the original recipe based on ingredients I had on hand, and the end result was still delicious.

It was super easy to make, and it would be a great casserole to prep ahead of time (without the topping).

You could even make this the night before a big brunch!
