Hamburger And Hash Brown Casserole Without Canned Soup

"This hamburger and hash brown casserole is my from-scratch take on funeral potatoes with ground beef, oszing with a creamy, cheesy center and crunchy chip topping. I enjoy making it when I need an easy, make-ahead pan of comfort to feed family, small group, or a friend who needs dinner handled. There are nights when you need dinner to feel like a hug, not a project. The kind of night when everyone drops their bags, sighs a little, and you can tell they need comfort food more than they need something fancy. That is where this hamburger and hash brown casserole comes in. It tastes like the hash brown casseroles that show up at church potlucks and funeral luncheons, but with seasoned ground beef and a quick-from-scratch cheese sauce instead of canned soup. Same cozy flavor, a little extra care."
