How to make a Hashbrown Casserole:

This recipe really is very easy to make. Basically mix all your ingredients into a bowl then spread them out in a casserole dish.

I love make this dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Holidays or just any night in the week, this is a hearty and filling meal that everyone will love.

Ingredient Notes:

• Frozen Shredded Hash browns: You can use any other type of hash born but I prefer the shredded style for this recipe.
• Sour Cream
• Cream of Chicken Soup
• Butter: I used unsalted butter and then melted it.
• Seasoning: I used onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Cheese: shredded cheddar cheese is what I like to use but you can use something more mild if you prefer.

Directions:

Step One – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a casserole dish (9×13) with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step Two – Mix all ingredients and only 2 cups of cheese (the rest will be for later).

Place it in your casserole dish and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

Step Three – Bake for until fully cooked and bubbly.

Serve and enjoy!

What you need for this recipe:

For this recipe, I used a 9×13 casserole dish. Mix everything in a large mixing bowl.

How do you freeze this casserole:

Freeze in servings: You get a wonderful breakfast but don’t have to wake up earlier to make it. I also love making them into single-serving breakfast squares that I can eat all week long.

After cooking allows your casserole to cool. Cut it into squares and place them on a baking sheet. Place in the freezer into each square is frozen.

You can now place all the squares into a large freezer bag and they will not stick together. Pull out one at a time for breakfast and warm in a toaster oven or microwave!

Freeze whole: To freeze the entire casserole cook according to directions (in a freezer-friendly dish, I like to use foil dishes when freezing) then allow to cool.

Cover with foil and place in the freezer. Place in the fridge 24 hours before you are ready to bake and place in the oven at 375 for 60-90 minutes until warmed through.

Do I need to thaw my hashbrowns before baking?

It is ok to cook this meal with somewhat frozen potatoes, however thawing them would be better overall. Frozen hash browns may not cook all the way through, so allowing them to somewhat thaw would be best.

If you let them thaw all the way, you may get too much moisture in the mix, when preparing them, and they will be soggy. That is why I say somewhat frozen.

You do not want them straight out of the freezer, stuck in ice balls. You want them to be starting to warm up or thaw out. That is the best time to cook these for this recipe.
