I love a good hashbrown casserole. I have made many over the years. From my Cracker Barrel Copycat Hashbrown Casserole to my Crack Chicken Casserole, I love making casseroles!
This Hamburger Hashbrown Casserole my newest creation and it is sooo good! This is a perfect casserole for dinner, but you can also eat it for breakfast too!
I love that it is a pretty versatile meal that can be enjoyed any meal of the day!
How to make Hamburger Hashbrown Casserole:
Start by cooking your ground beef and onions. Season with the salt and pepper. When that is done prepare your hash browns by mixing them with all the other ingredients.
Add the ground beef to the hashbrown mixture and then put it all into your casserole dish.
Spread it out evenly and top with more shredded cheese. Bake and enjoy!
Ingredient Notes:
- Ground Beef
- Chopped Onion
- Minced Garlic
- Salt and Pepper
- Frozen Hash Brown Potatoes – I used diced for this recipe but shredded would work as well.
- Sour Cream
- Cream of Chicken Soup
- Butter
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Directions:
Step One – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9×13″ casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step Two – In a skillet cook and crumble ground beef over medium heat. Add in onion and garlic and cook until fragrant.
Step Three – Drain fat as needed then season ground beef with salt and pepper to taste.
Step Four – In a large mixing bowl place frozen hash browns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter, and 1 ¾ cups of shredded cheese.
Mix until combined then add in ground beef mixture and mix again until combined.
Step Five – Scoop mixed ingredients into the prepared casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.
Step Six – Bake for 40-45 minutes or until casserole is warm throughout.
Make-Ahead Instructions:
Yup, this recipe can be made ahead of time. You can make this up to 5 days ahead of time as it will last in the refrigerator for that long.
Prepare everything but instead of baking top your casserole with foil and place it in the refrigerated for up to two days. Remove from the fridge and remove foil and bake according to directions.
Freezing Instructions:
This recipe is perfect for freezing and serving later. Follow the steps until baking. Place all ingredients into a freezer-safe casserole dish and top it.
Cover with foil and place in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When you are ready to serve just place in the fridge to thaw for 24 hours and then bake according to directions.

Tried this recipe and it was delicious! Family just enjoyed it immensely!
I only had a 1# pkg of hot breakfast sausage so used that in place of the burger. Very good recipe, it will be a regular at our house.
Thanks
This was really good. I made exactly as written. Next time though I will add 2 lbs of hamburger, Italian sausage or spicy breakfast sausage. My family all commented that it was good but needed more hamburger. Thank you for the great recipe!
This hamburger/hash brown casserole was so delicious! I will save this recipe and make it often, I’m sure!
Thanks Brenda!
