For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding cooked and crumbled bacon or diced ham to the hash brown mixture. If you prefer a crispier topping, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and toss with the crushed cornflakes before sprinkling over the casserole. To avoid a soggy casserole, ensure the thawed hash browns are well-drained before adding them to the mixture. You can gently squeeze out any excess moisture using paper towels. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
