Easy Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole

This family favorite if perfect anytime! It is a favorite at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It pairs perfectly with any meat for a delicious meal. It is creamy and cheesy and crunchy on top! The mustard compliments so many main dishes, but you may choose to omit this ingredient for a variation. It is simple enough to prepare for everyday and special enough to serve guests at a Christmas brunch buffet. This casserole always brings smiles, especially when paired with Holiday Ham!
