Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a greased baking dish and set it aside. You’re going to need it!

Layer It On: Now, we’re going to layer! Spread half of the hash brown mixture evenly across the bottom of your greased baking dish. Next, add your sautéed cabbage on top, making sure it covers the hash browns beautifully. Finally, top with the remaining hash brown mixture.
Bake Away: Pop that masterpiece in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Bring a book or your favorite show to watch while it cooks because the smell will keep you darting back in the kitchen!
