Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

  • salt & pepper (optional)
  • green onion for garnish (optional)

Notes

  • feel free to salt & pepper your ground beef, or even add a seasoning salt such as Lawry’s if you want to amp up the flavor
  • use a BIG bowl for mixing the hash brown mixture, it’s a lot of ingredients and can make a mess if you use too small a bowl, I use my largest mixing bowl
