Freezer Friendly Beefy Hashbrown Pizza
This tasty combination is reminiscent of Cheesy Potatoes and Sloppy Joes all in one. With a cheesy hash brown crust, topped with shredded cheese, followed by a thick and meaty sauce, and more cheese, who can resist? Leftovers can be cut into squares, flash frozen, and placed in a freezer storage bag for a quick reheat for lunch as well.

Is there something else that can be used in place of the cream soup? I haven’t seen a cheese soup that is gluten-free. Would sour cream work? (not freezing).
Sasha-
I haven’t seen a GF Cheddar Soup either. I would suggest using a cream of chicken GF soup option and add a little shredded cheese or the sour cream option might work well too! Let us know how it turns out!
What are “southern style” hashbrowns? Are they just regular shredded? Or more like tots?
Amy – Southern Style are the tiny little square hash browns…..they should be in with the other potato varieties in your grocers’ freezer aisle.
this sounds yummy!! i wonder if a breakfast variety pizza would be good on the hashbrown crust??
Divide among indicated number of gallon freezer bags and set aside, what are the number of freezer bags?
And would microwave or use the oven with the slices if they were cooked & frozed?
Yea, that read awkwardly and the writer hadn’t adapted from the recipe card to the post. I have changed it so that it reflects what you should do if you are just making this one recipe.
