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.

Just about all of them can be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated until you’re ready to bake them up.

They’d actually make a great appetizer for New Year’s Eve, or a brunch fix for New Year’s Day.

Creamy, cheesy, and perfect! I didn’t have the right soup, but broccoli cheddar soup was an exceptional substitute. This will make my list of monthly meals at least!
