  7. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
  9. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Make sure to soften the cream cheese for easier mixing and drain the hash browns to avoid sogginess.
