I’m not going to lie… this isn’t one of those healthy dishes. It’s instead one of those guilty pleasure morning comfort food dishes. The kind that allow you to go the whole day thinking “man, that was a good breakfast”… And so despite the fact that most of my other recipes lean towards the healthier side, I felt this one had to be added.
Cheesy Hashbrowns are technically a breakfast food in my mind. But I’m such a huge fan of them that I’d argue that they can be served at essentially any meal. I mean really who doesn’t love a huge serving of cheesy hashbrowns served along side their steak, pork chops, eggs sunny-side up, etc. (I’m getting hungry just writing this!)
This batch of crowd-pleasing cheesy hashbrowns is very simple to put together, so it’s a perfect compliment to your next meal.

This recipe is a crowd pleaser - cheesyness, saltyness, creamyness, and crispy edges. Oh so good!This is a simple recipe to put together. Chop a few veggies, give it a stir, and let the oven melt the mouth-pleasing happiness together for you! But it's ok for you to take the compliments.

Set aside about 1/4 of the cheese to put as a top layer on the hashbrowns.
In a large bowl, gently mix together all of the ingredients with exception of the 1/4 cheese we set aside in the above step. Mix until well incorporated.
Use cooking spray to coat a 9x13 glass baking pan.
Pour the mixture into the baking pan and spread out to an even layer.
Sprinkle garlic salt and pepper over the entire pan for an added layer of seasoning.
Top with the reserved cheese.
Bake in a pre-heated 375° oven for 40 minutes. The hashbrowns should be bubbly and the cheese on the edges should brown nicely.
When I see a problem, I just want to fix it. And when my mind is set on something I get obsessive about focusing on that task until it is one. Since my early days in front of a computer I have been building websites, graphics, and multimedia presentations that are designed with the end user in mind to ensure that they are easy to use, understand, and fun. If what I'm working on doesn't enlighten someone, then I've done something wrong.

Yes, I just quoted my self. This quote is both my saving grace and my achilles heel. At times this leads me to recreating something that someone else created. But the journey it takes to accomplish the task is packed full of exploration and learning opportunities, and that's what makes the effort worth it.
At the end of the day, I’m a light hearted soul that likes to put a smile on the faces of others - because we all need to smile from time to time and let out a little laugh once in a while. It’s good for the heart, mind, body, and soul.
