Ingredients

32 oz Frozen Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes
2 tablespoons Frozen Minced Onions
2 cups Sour Cream
10.5 oz Cream of Chicken Soup
4 tablespoons Butter (unsalted and melted)
1/2 teaspoons Salt (or to taste)
3 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese (divided)
14 oz Smoked Sausage (sliced)

Instructions

Place all ingredients except for 1 cup of cheese into your slow cooker and mix together well then place the lid on.
Cook on low for 4 hours. Top with remaining cheese and place the lid back on then allow to cook for 20 more minutes.

Notes

Hash browns: Add them straight from frozen. Southern-style diced hash browns work too.

Sausage: Use precooked smoked sausage or kielbasa. If your sausage is raw, cook it first.

Easy cleanup: Lightly grease the slow cooker or use a liner to keep the cheese from sticking.

Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.

Freezing: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. The potatoes may be a little softer after freezing.

Reheating: Microwave individual portions, or warm in a covered baking dish at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway. Add a splash of milk if it's thick.
