CAN THIS HASH BROWN CASSEROLE BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes, absolutely! You can make this the night before and refrigerate once it has cooled and wrap it in foil. Then you can reheat in the morning when everyone is ready to eat.

If you’d like to freeze this hash brown casserole, you can do so by first baking and allowing it to cool. Then, wrap in a few layers of foil and freeze for up to 2 months.  

HOW DO YOU REHEAT HASH BROWN CASSEROLE?

If you’d like to reheat the entire casserole (such as after freezing), bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. Or, you can microwave a single serving on a microwave-safe plate for about 30-60 seconds.

HOW LONG WILL HASH BROWN CASSEROLE LAST?

You’ll want to put this in the refrigerator as it will quickly spoil due to the dairy. I wouldn’t leave it out more than a couple of hours. It will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator and 1-2 months in the freezer.
