Incredibly easy to throw together! You need to make sure you have the time to get this on the table, as it requires a longer cook time than the average casserole. But once assembled and in the oven you can get a bunch of stuff done around the house or just relax!! This recipe would benefit greatly by the addition of spices as it was rather bland. The leftovers for lunch were much tastier. We would make it again, adding spices to taste. Thanks for the recipe!

Yummy. I made some substitutions in the hashbrown mix to accommodate what I had on hand and I forgot the milk, but it still turned out okay. It does take a while to bake so make sure you get it prepped and in the oven on time for dinner. Also the meatballs seemed to get a little dry. Maybe that was because I forgot the milk, but I wonder if adding a sauce in addition to the cheese would help.
