In northeastern Ohio, we love German flavors. This delicious casserole is a trifecta mashup of my favorite dishes. It combines the flavors of classic cheesy hash brown casserole with bratwursts and sauerkraut, pretzels and beer cheese. It takes less than 10 minutes to mix and takes only one bowl. It’s sure to please everyone any time of the year. —Sarah Markley, Ashland, Ohio

Can you freeze Oktoberfest Casserole?

Freeze cooled potato mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add broth or water if necessary.

Test Kitchen tips: Choose a beer you enjoy drinking to use in this recipe. Substitute any flavor of brats or pretzel pieces to add more flavor.
