A creamy and cheesy hash brown casserole that's perfect for brunch or as a side dish for special occasions.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir constantly to prevent the butter from burning.
Add the cream cheese and milk to the saucepan, stirring until smooth.
Use a whisk to achieve a creamy consistency.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined.
Add the cheese gradually to ensure it melts evenly.
Spread the frozen hash brown potatoes evenly in a 9x13 baking dish.
Ensure the potatoes are evenly distributed for consistent cooking.
Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.
Use a spatula to spread the sauce evenly over the potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until bubbly and golden on top.
Check halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the casserole to set for easier serving.
