⭐ Tips & Variations

• Make it overnight: Assemble, cover, refrigerate, and bake in the morning
• Veggie version: Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach
• Extra cheesy: Mix in Monterey Jack or Swiss
• Spicy kick: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce

💡 Pro Tip: If your hash browns are watery, squeeze out excess moisture—this keeps the casserole from getting soggy.
