The holiday rush is over, but that doesn’t mean my life has slowed down. Truthfully, the week between Christmas and New Year’s is busier for me than the pre-holiday craziness. That’s mainly because Brian and I don’t exchange gifts or have company to serve a meal to at our home, so we’re able to sit back and enjoy the holidays a bit more.

After the holiday is over, though, I start my end of the year bookkeeping and goal planning for the new year.  Right about now is when things get a bit crazy for me, because I realize that I have less than 2 weeks to get “my house in order”.  I simply don’t have time to mess around in the kitchen, so I rely on casseroles like this easy hashbrown casserole recipe.

Easy Hashbrown Casserole Recipe Shortcuts

There are a few make-ahead shortcuts that I use when I’m busy. Saving time in the kitchen with fun and easy shortcuts is what I’m all about.

That’s why I used precooked ham and frozen veggies for the easy hashbrown casserole recipe. You don’t even need to thaw them out first!

Sure, I could have pulled out my mandoline slicer or box grater and shredded up the potatoes myself, but to use fresh potatoes in a casserole like this would have also required me to blanch them first, and I’m just too busy for that business right now.

Oh, and if you’re looking for more recipes that you can make ahead, just like this easy hashbrown casserole recipe, check out my casserole recipes or my freezer friendly recipes.

Just about all of them can be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated until you’re ready to bake them up. Oh, and you won’t be using an entire bag of frozen hashbrowns for this recipe, so you might want to use the rest of the bag to make up some shredded potato nests. They’d actually make a great appetizer for New Year’s Eve, or a brunch fix for New Year’s Day.

But for now, let’s dig into this broccoli cheddar and ham hashbrown casserole!
