• Make ahead and refrigerate. You can leave it unbaked and bake it when you are ready for it (within 24 hours) or bake it and then reheat it when you are ready for it. Either way works.
• Cut corned beef into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
• If the cheese starts to get to browned, cover it loosely with aluminum foil lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. 
• If the hashbrowns are frozen, add 15 minutes to the baking time. You will know when the casserole is done when you fully cook the egg mixture and liquid does not pool under the ingredients.

The cheese you use should be semi-soft and one that melts well. Swiss cheese, parmesan cheese, or gouda cheese will work in place of cheddar. Even a Mexican blend works great or other purchased shredded cheese will work. Mix and match cheeses to your heart’s content.

Casseroles are a great way to add your favorite ingredients. Add leftover cabbage, herbs, or veggies of your choice.
