You can use pure heavy cream for this for an ultra-rich casserole, or use half in half or even just milk!

Pre-made frozen hashbrowns are not only quick, easy, and convenient, but they're also the perfect crisp and texture for this recipe.

This dish can be assembled ahead of time! Just put together the entire recipe except for the cracker topping, and wrap it in plastic in the fridge. Add the topping right before cooking!

Not a fan of spice? Replace the pepper jack with Monterey jack or your favorite cheddar.
