Creamy casseroles are such a staple in the midwest. They are typically easy to prepare and have such a comforting taste to them. The only downside with a casserole like this is the colors are all very similar making it look bland, but the taste is anything but bland and one that family came back for more of.

This casserole is better than most because it can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake. I would bake it within 24 hours of making the casserole, I made it one night and then baked it the following night. If you choose to prepare it ahead, do not add the croutons until ready to bake or they will get soggy in the refrigerator. Depending on how far ahead you prepare the casserole you will not need to thaw the hash browns. I added them frozen to the casserole and by the next night they were thawed, same with the corn.
