As a Midwesterner, I love any and all casseroles… especially ones for breakfast.  This hash brown casserole without soup is a simple way to get some extra veggies in your first meal of the day. I made sure to add some fresh herbs to the dish too, so it doesn’t taste too heavy.

Another great thing about this casserole is that it versatile and you can make it with whatever veggies you have on hand.  Don’t have a bell pepper?  Use asparagus or spinach instead!  Add mushrooms or broccoli, or substitute a different cream soup or type of cheese.

What’s In This Vegetarian Hash Brown Casserole?

I cook with fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!

• Onion, Mushrooms, Bell Pepper, Spinach, Parsley

• Hash Browns: I LOVE hash browns, it’s one of my favorite ways to eat potatoes. I like to buy frozen hash browns for this recipe, as they are inexpensive and way more convenient than shredding your own potatoes.
• Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry.  For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
• Tellicherry Peppercorns: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper.  Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend. 
• Cheese – I used mozzarella and cheddar
• Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! I like to add a few shakes to this recipe to give this dish a nice complex depth of flavor.
• Gluten Free Panko Breadcrumbs for the topping: use this gluten-free if you avoid wheat… they have that amazing classic panko crunch, it’s unreal!
