It’s pretty safe to say that hash browns are one of those yummy breakfast foods that most of us typically save for the weekend. Personally, we love to eat them, but browning potatoes with hot oil on a stovetop can get pretty messy, which is not exactly the ideal weekday morning situation, particularly when most of us move at warp speed during the week. That’s precisely why we got so excited when we came across this fantastic casserole recipe that’s all about hash browns, but it can be made ahead with no fuss!

You will quickly discover that this isn’t your average dish, as it’s got not only cheddar cheese, but tangy sour cream (that goes so well with potatoes). The recipe also calls for something a little more unexpected…it’s a hard one to guess, so we’ll go ahead and tell you – it’s a can of condensed celery. We think that’s a pretty brilliant call, because it’s such a simple way to add tons of flavor and creaminess! Don’t you love it when that happens with an ingredient that’s so easy to get your hands on?

Just when you think it can’t get any better, the whole thing is topped off with crushed Ritz crackers, which add e a perfectly crunchy contrast to all that soft and gooey flavor underneath. This is such an easy dish to make ahead of time and freeze, portion off for a quick grab-and-go weekday breakfast, or for a memorable breakfast or brunch get-together. With this delicious casserole, we want you to know that you have plenty of quick and convenient options that are guaranteed to fill your stomach and make your taste buds extremely happy!
