• I’ve used my trusted seasoned ground beef recipe in this one, but often times I add Italian seasoning as well.

🍽️ Serve With

• Hashbrown hamburger casserole is a hearty meal by itself but I like serving it with a side of Air Fryer Frozen Asparagus.
• Next time, I might as well add a side of this Lebanese Rice.
• Turn this into a great meal when you pair it with a crusty bread side dish like this Air Fryer Garlic Bread. Plus, you don't have to worry about oven space since the air fryer does the work.
• My family loves something a little bright and sweet to end this hamburger hashbrown casserole dinner, so I love to give them a slice of this Orange Loaf Cake.
