Save the leftovers and freeze them for another dinner or lunch. You might think the beef stock is an odd ingredient to use in this casserole. However, you don't actually taste it in the finished product; it is used to make the casserole creamier. You could use chicken stock in its place. Try Aunt Nellie's Hash Brown Casserole today.

Oh my goodness this sounds so good I can almost taste it. I'm not really much of a hash brown person, but I'm sure after eating this deliciousness...my taste buds will find it hard to resist in the future. Cheese makes everything better and I'm thinking the beef broth in this recipe probably gives it more depth in flavor. Throw in some sliced mushrooms and this would make a great vegetarian meal.

i would either grease the baking dish with a little butter, or give it a generous coating of non stick spray to keep it from sticking and make for easier serving and clean up. I use a beef broth and milk mixture when I make scalloped potatoes, and they always turn out great, so I imagine this cheesy casserole would be very good too!

This is an interesting take on a casserole! Especially the use of the broth. My family makes a really delicious quiche using a hashed brown crust and then an egg, ham or bacon, cheese, and heavy cream or milk as the filling. Shredded hash browns make a great crust!

Hash brown casseroles are right up there with tater tot casseroles- I love them! Sometimes I want a meatless casserole, so this is perfect. One comment suggested this can be a pan-sticker with all that cheese, so I would coat the pan with cooking spray, just to be safe.
