This breakfast made ahead gets a makeover that you will love…
It is safe to say that hashbrowns are a delicious breakfast food that most people save for weekends. We love them and we can’t wait to make them again. However, browning potatoes in hot oil on the stovetop can be messy. This is especially true when we move so fast during the week. This is exactly why we were so excited to find this amazing casserole recipe. It’s all about having hash browns and can be made ahead of time.
