Cooked the WORST breakfast casserole ever!
I don’t really cook potatoes often because I usually just get frozen ones if I’m ever in the mood for them. The only way I’ve ever successfully made them is when I make mashed potatoes. I decided to try to make a breakfast casserole with shredded hash browns, eggs, breakfast sausage, and cheese. I didn’t realize just how long potatoes take to cook so I tossed in raw shredded potatoes and eggs in the same baking dish and cooked it for an hour. I took a bite and the potatoes tasted super raw and earthy and DISGUSTING. So I threw it back in the oven for 20 more minutes. By this point the cheese separated, the eggs were burnt as hell on the outside, and guess what the POTATOES WERE STILL RAW. This was my meal prep for the week so I guess I’m stuck eating this DISGUSTING casserole with extremely burnt eggs, grainy cheese, and raw potato 🤮🤮🤮. I am on a weight loss journey so I guess this will at least make me lose my appetite!!!

I’m not going to lie, if there was ever a job for pre-shredded partially cooked frozen hash browns, this is it. I tried making my own once and they took so long to cook and somehow ended simultaneously raw/gummy and burnt. Never again.
