Tips:

For added flavor, consider mixing in some diced onions or cooked bacon before baking.
If you’re short on time, you can use pre-shredded hash browns instead of frozen ones.
This casserole reheats well, making it a great option for leftovers.
Feel free to customize the cheese blend according to your preferences. Cheddar or Monterey Jack would work well in place of Velveeta.
