How Do I Make The Hashbrown Casserole?

1. Add the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chopped onion, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper, to a large bowl and mix well.
2. Next, add the hashbrowns to the bowl, pour the melted butter over the top, and mix until covered.
3. Spread the hashbrown casserole into a 9″ x 13″ casserole dish and bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

How To Make The Hashbrown Casserole Recipe

Start the dish by adding the shredded cheddar cheese and diced onions to a bowl.

I used a very large bowl because once you get all of the ingredients in there, you’ll want plenty of room to be able to stir the hashbrowns and get them covered.

Next, add the cream of chicken soup and sour cream to the bowl and mix all of the ingredients together.

I like to mix these ingredients together before adding the hashbrowns because it just makes stirring and coating the hashbrowns that much easier.

Cream of chicken soup is going to add so much flavor to this dish. If you’re not a big fan of chicken, try some cream of celery or mushroom for a different flavor.

Now that you’ve mixed everything well, combine the shredded hashbrowns with the ingredients.

I buy frozen hashbrowns and let them sit out to thaw before adding them to the dish.

Finally, pour the melted butter over the hashbrowns, sprinkle the salt and pepper on top, and stir until coated.

Spread it all into a greased 9″ x 13″ casserole dish and bake for 45 minutes.

You do not need to cover the dish while baking. You’ll want the top to get nice and brown and crunchy.

I know you will love this cheesy potato side dish. It’s honestly one of the best things and such a hearty dish.
