We liked this because it tasted good, but I can't honestly give it four or five stars. It's an easy, but ordinary hash brown casserole. They all taste the same to me; this was no exception.

Delicious!! I made this for our Sunday School one morning, there were no leftovers. I even was asked for the recipe. It is really easy and tastes great!!

I picked this recipe because of LonghornMama's review that said it wasn't soupy. She was right on. It was really good. I used bread crumbs on top instead of parmesan cheese. I'll definitely make it again, with less onion (personal taste) and maybe some more bacon (it doesn't need it, I just like bacon).

Very satisfying!! It has all of my favorite things in it : taters, bacon, cheese, more cheese. DH and I had it for dinner with some brussels sprouts. Oh, and I used a 1 1/4 lb package of Simply Potatoes has browns instead of frozen hash browns - turned out great. Thank You for sharing.

This is such a delicious potato casserole! I had my family over last night and decided to give this recipe a try, and everyone just loved it. I doubled the recipe and followed the directions exactly, using the pre-cooked real bacon pieces to save time and clean up. I will be making this again and again. Thanks for sharing!!
