It's okay, I did add the french fried onion topping as one reviewer said, I liked it better with a dollop of sour cream on top for plating! A different casserole for sure.

I thought it was easy to prepare and a good alternative to typical hash brown casseroles. To make it healthier, I used 100% grass-fed beef, organic mixed veggies, and organic hash browns. Also, I didn't mix the cheese in with the hash browns. Instead, I waited until it was finished baking, then layered the cheese on top and put it back in the oven for a few minutes to melt.

Easy and delish. I added some french fried onions to the topping. Thanks for posting!
