Hash Brown Parmigiana

If you’re craving comfort food but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen, this Hash Brown Parmigiana is your new go-to snack. Inspired by the classic chicken parmigiana, we’ve swapped out the chicken for a crispy hash brown base, then loaded it with pizza sauce, ham, mozzarella, and parmesan.

It’s quick, budget-friendly, and guaranteed to hit the spot — whether you’re serving it as an after-school snack, a light meal, or a fun twist on game-night eats.
