Instructions

Add all of the ingredients, except for one cup of the shredded cheese, to a large mixing bowl. Stir together until evenly combined.
1 20 oz bag refrigerated shredded hash browns, 4 cups fresh broccoli florets, 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 2 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 small sweet onion, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp seasoned salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 10.5 oz can cream of broccoli, 1 beaten egg
Spray a 9x13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the mixture to the dish and spread it out in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly out overtop.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake at 375° for 45 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes- just until hot & bubbly and the cheese is golden brown and slightly crusty on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm & enjoy.

Notes

If you don't want add the egg that's no problem. It will just be a less bound together but will still be delicious!
You can add meat to this to make it a full meal casserole. Chopped rotisserie chicken, diced ham, or chopped kielbasa all make tasty additions.
This casserole is freezer friendly! Just prepare as instructed and put the casserole into a freezer safe, oven safe container. Do not bake it before freezing. Then freeze it and when you are ready to bake it according to the instructions but add an additional 20 minutes to the first cook time.
