  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  4. In a mixing bowl, combine thawed hashbrowns, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Mix well.
  5. Spread the hashbrown mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing down lightly.
  6. Evenly layer the seasoned beef mixture over the hashbrowns.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
  8. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes, then garnish with cilantro if desired.
