For the Casserole
  • 2 pounds frozen hash browns, thawed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10.5 ounce

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

You can add cooked bacon bits or sausage to the mixture for extra flavor. For a crispier top, you can sprinkle a little extra cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
