Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • 20 oz frozen hash browns shredded potatoes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups cooked diced chicken
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 9x9 casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sour cream together. Add salt and pepper.
  • Add the hashbrowns, chicken, and 1 ¼ cup of cheese to the casserole dish.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the hashbrown mixture.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the casserole.
  • Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden, the casserole has set and the cheese has fully melted.
  • Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve!

Notes

  • Make this dish ahead of time! Either cook the entire dish, then reheat at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. Or, prepare the casserole just to the point before baking, then store, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
  • To freeze, allow to cool completely and freeze in an airtight container. 
  • For best results, thaw the hash browns slightly before baking. (For an even tastier casserole, brown the hash browns in a skillet for a few minutes before adding to the casserole.)
