Notes

If you forgot to thaw your hashbrowns, no worries, thaw in the microwave by setting for 1 minute on high and then turning over and repeat for 1 minute until 5 minutes have passed.
Feel free to experiment with other types of cheese! Mexican mix, gouda, smoked gouda (yes, go there!), swiss are all excellent!
If you don’t have green onions, grate half a sweet onion (like vidalia or texas sweet) and use that.
Don’t have paprika? No problem! It’s mostly for the smokey red look anyway, you can leave it off.
Try a crunchy top by mixing a cup of crushed potato chips mixed with 2 tbs melted butter sprinkled over the top!
It’s fine to substitute low fat cheese, sour cream and low salt cream of celery soup, but seriously, if you are doing hashbrown casserole, just do it all the way. It’s a special occasion food mostly.
