Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 30 oz frozen hash brown potatoes
  • 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup or substitute with a cream of mushroom or vegetable soup
  • 16 oz sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 cup melted butter

Equipment

  • Crock Pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Spatula or Wooden Spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash brown potatoes, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and melted butter. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: Grease the interior of your crock pot with cooking spray or a little melted butter. This will help prevent the casserole from sticking to the sides and make for easier cleanup.
  3. Step 3: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared crock pot, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Make sure there are no lumps or dry patches of hash browns.
  4. Step 4: Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time may vary depending on your crock pot model, so check for doneness by ensuring the potatoes are tender and the casserole is hot throughout.
  5. Step 5: Once cooked, carefully remove the lid and serve the casserole warm. It can be enjoyed on its own or paired with your favorite breakfast items, salads, or meats.

Notes

For an extra crispy top, consider broiling the casserole for a few minutes after it’s cooked. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
