Notes

Make Ahead

Assemble the casserole except for the topping. Cover it and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days. When you're ready to bake, prepare the topping, and distribute it on top of the casserole. Increase the baking time for an additional 5-10 minutes if it's coming straight from the fridge.

Thawing Potatoes

Place the frozen hash browns in the fridge the night before so they can thaw overnight.
