Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Notes

How to Store & Freeze Hashbrown Casserole

  • Refrigerator: Let leftovers cool to room temp, then cover tightly or transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
  • Reheat: Bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes, or microwave individual portions for 1–2 minutes, until heated through.
Freezing (Before Baking): Assemble casserole but leave off the topping. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and foil or use a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
To Bake After Freezing: Thaw overnight in the fridge. Add topping, then bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
