This recipe for hamburger hashbrown casserole is a nice change is you’re used to eating tater tot casserole. It’s easy to make, and although I haven’t tried it I imagine it would be easy to cook ahead and freeze. Just wait to sprinkle the French-fried onions on until after it’s thawed and baked.

This was yummy! I swapped ground turkey for the hamburger.I might try it with chicken and peas or corn next time!

Was I suppose to brown the hash browns before putting them in the casserole dish?
My dish turned out great, But the thought occurred to me that i might have missed a step.
Thanks for the great recipe, I had a ton of burgers leftover, because my dinner guests cancelled at the last minute. Your recipe saved all my meat!
Cheers !
