- mix in sloppy joe sauce Worcestershire tomato paste and seasonings and simmer 2 to 3 minutes then remove from heat.
Assemble and bake
- spread frozen hash browns in an even layer in the baking dish
- spoon sloppy joe mixture evenly over hash browns
- whisk eggs milk sour cream and mustard until smooth then pour evenly over the casserole
- sprinkle cheddar and Monterey Jack over the top
- bake uncovered until the center is set and the top is browned 40 to 50 minutes

Notes
1. Swap ground turkey or sausage for ground beef; use tater tots instead of hash browns in the same amount; make ahead by assembling and refrigerating up to 12 hours then bake adding 5 to 10 minutes; for extra heat add diced jalapeno or hot sauce; if the top browns too fast cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes
