Hash Brown Casserole Recipe

When school is back in session, I go into a bit of a panic mode. Gone are the glorious summer days where we lived without a schedule. Now we have school drop off and pick up, doctor appointments and activities galore.

As we adjust to the year’s new routine, I look to quick and easy casserole recipes to feed my family. One dish meals are my favorite and this recipe is great because it incorporates all four food groups it one complete meal. To make preparation easy, it includes frozen and canned ingredients and dried herbs.
