Make-Ahead Directions
do you use the jalapenos in the shredded cheddar cheese to
This sounds delicious. I will use Cheddar cheese.
It was very good. I muted the flavor to suit my husband’s taste: part mozzarella and part taco cheese; dairy case garlic & herb hash browns instead of the southwestern flavor I like, a pound of crumbled bulk sausage fried before adding. My husband had three helpings. The timing was on the mark. Leaving it uncovered gives a nice crust as I sprinkled a bit of the cheese on top also.
I have fresh not frozen hash browns. Will the cooking time be effected by that?
yeah, just cook it till the eggs are see- keep checking.I use a toothpick for the center of the dish.
Could I double the recipe and bake it in a larger casserole dish (9×13)?
YES!!! That is typically what I like to do with this recipe. It’s too good not too!
