Southern Hash Brown Casserole
I had some family coming to stay with me for a few days, and they were big eaters. Well, the kids were anyways. They were like machines. It seemed like every time I turned around, they were asking for something else to eat. I tried to keep a fresh fruit out along with a veggie tray ready, but they were on vacation so they wanted something besides the healthy stuff the whole time they were here. I discovered after a few days that if I filled them up good for breakfast, they would last until lunch without getting hungry again.
They were tired of pancakes and waffles by the third day, so I had to come up with something else. I know whenever I go out to eat, I like to get a hash brown with my breakfast. It’s so tasty and super filling. I figured there had to be something that I could do with the hash browns I had in my freezer, and I was right. I found this recipe on Recipe Lion and whipped it right up.
We had bacon and eggs along with this casserole and a few pieces of toast. Everyone was super satisfied with breakfast that day and all we had to have was a light lunch before dinner time. It was nice to get a little bit of a break from the kitchen!

Spray a 9 x 11 or 9 x 13-inch pan or casserole dish with Pam or lightly grease the dish. This helps with clean up.
Pour mixture from the bowl into the pan and spread evenly with a spoon. Do not pack down tightly.
In a small bowl, mix together Corn Flakes and 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix together and spread on top of casserole.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes without a lid. The top should be lightly browned when done.
