5-Ingredient Baked Hash Brown Patty Casserole

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 glass baking dish.

2. Layer the Patties: Place a single layer of frozen hash brown patties at the bottom of the dish.

3. Add Fillings: Sprinkle half of the diced ham and half of the shredded cheese over the first layer of patties.

4. Repeat and Sauce: Add a second layer of patties. Pour the condensed soup mixture evenly over the top, ensuring it fills the gaps.

5. Final Topping: Sprinkle the remaining cheese, diced ham, and bacon bits over the top.

6. Bake: Cook uncovered for 35–40 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the cheese is slightly browned.

7. Serve: Top with fresh green onions and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
