Fabulous Side for Labor Day Celebrations

It’s not Labor Day but it is Nancy’s birthday!

family favorite

Nancy is our oldest. Later we will go over for the celebration with food and games. We’re bringing a family favorite as requested, Grandpa’s Hash Brown Casserole. This is a great side dish for so many meals. We love it with steaks, ham, and the list goes on.  Leftovers…it is delicious for breakfast too.  Just so you know, it is NOT the same as Cracker Barrel’s!

Delicious side dish

Grandpa’s Hash Brown Casserole was something my dad always made for us when we visited. Not only is it sentimental; it is delicious! The kids called it Grandpa’s Hash Brown Casserole.

It is Labor Day weekend. Kids are home. Football season starts and it is time to put away the white shoes.  White pants and jeans too. Last weekend to go to the pool and time to gather family and friends for the last summer gathering.

Grandpa’s Hash Brown Casserole is the perfect side for this farewell to summer weekend gatherings. A hot side dish for picnics and BBQ’s.

birthday CELEBRATION

Happy Birthday Nancy!

Today, we are taking Grandpa’s Hash Brown Casserole to Nancy’s birthday dinner. We’ll also have grilled steaks, strawberry spinach salad with all the fixings and birthday cake.  I’m guessing the kids are baking hat.

It’s one of our family tried and true dishes that everyone likes. The kids took this recipe with them. It is in the copy of Mom’s handwritten cookbook.

We call it after my daddy, Grandpa, who was made sure it was made just right without any shortcuts!  Delicious with both breakfast and grilled meals.  Many of our recipes are named after who I got the recipe from during our many moves over the years.

Grandpa’s Hash Brown Cassarole is one of those workhorse sides.  Double and freeze the extra. Travels well and holds the heat. Heats up well if there are any leftovers. Delicious well liked side dish.
