Easy 3 Ingredient Hash Brown Casserole a classic and popular side dish made simple without losing any flavor. This potato casserole has only three ingredients.

What I like about cooking the most is you get to control everything about it.

(Not that I’m a control freak or anything.)

Like more kick? Add more spice

Like more cheese? Add more cheese.

Don’t like butter (what the hell’s wrong with you?!)? ah, Don’t add butter!

I developed this recipe because I’m not a big fan of cream-of-anything soup.

Too much sodium!

And too much sodium means puffy a.m. eyes!

Not cool!

I thought about calling it Non-puffy-eyes Hash Brown Casserole;

but

it just didn’t have a good ring to it….

I put this recipe together today but did not bake it yet. Dinner was cancelled.
Can I freeze it unbaked or bake and then freeze.
Thanks.

This is a staple every year when we watch the Grinch and have our themed meal of Roast Beast and Cheesy Who Hash.

I love this casserole! If I make it with Ore Ida hash browns, they are gluten free, and the family members with Celiac get to enjoy it along with everyone else. Yum!
