Hashbrown Casserole

Hashbrown Casserole

Healthy Fact of the Day

Hashbrown Casserole is a comforting dish that's high in calories and fat. Potatoes provide vitamin C and potassium, while cheese offers calcium and protein. To make it healthier, consider using low-fat sour cream and reduced-fat cheese to cut calories and saturated fat. You can increase the nutrient content by adding vegetables like bell peppers or spinach. Using whole grain cereal instead of corn flakes for the topping can add more fiber. For a lighter version, try using Greek yogurt in place of some of the sour cream. While delicious, this dish is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Consider serving smaller portions alongside a large salad or steamed vegetables to create a more nutritionally balanced meal.

  • 1 medium onion, finely diced

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups corn flakes, crushed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
