Print Recipe

A creamy, cheesy, and hearty hash brown casserole inspired by the classic Cracker Barrel dish. Perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, or cozy meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (preferably sharp cheddar)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat preferred, or substitute low-fat or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 cup crushed cornflakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. If using crushed cornflakes for topping, sprinkle them generously over the casserole.
  5. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  6. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Thaw hash browns completely to avoid a watery casserole.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the ingredients to maintain a creamy texture.’, ‘Customize the cheese by mixing in Monterey Jack or Gruyère for added flavor.’, ‘Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes after baking to firm up for easier serving.’]
