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.

I have a recipe I use to make a Hashbrown Casserole,but yours is a meal in one,with the meat and the vegetables! I’ll have to make it for my husband
I have not made this in so long, it use to be a family favorite. I guess it’s time to make it again sometime soon.
This looks like a family pleaser recipe. You could switch out different veggies to include your family’s favorites.
I love casseroles for busy days! This one is a bit different form those in my rotation, and I like that it’s got veggies in it as well.
That looks really good!
This sounds great and I bet my kids would actually eat it. LOL.
That looks so good! I’m such a casserole girl anyhow. It’s feel good to me!
This looks great! It’s like Shepard’s Pie, but with hashbrowns – I am loving it. :) Pinning this right now!
