Crock Pot Hash Brown Casserole

minutesThis is a recipe that is perfect for any time of day – breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I usually make it a few times a year and it’s a staple for Christmas brunch and Easter dinner. It pairs perfectly with baked ham. I love it because you can just put everything in the crockpot and a few hours later, it’s ready to eat! Some people even call it “Funeral Potatoes” – that’s how comforting it is.
Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
– Frozen hash browns (shredded or cubed)
– Shredded cheddar cheese (or block cheese that you can shred)
– 8 oz tub of sour cream
– 1 can of cream of chicken soup (Campbell or store brand)
– 1/2 cup of diced white onion
Can you make it in advance? Yes, you can make this casserole in advance. Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, just pour the mixture into the crockpot and let it cook. What can you serve with it? This casserole goes well with any type of meat, but I recommend serving it with ham for lunch or dinner. You can also have it with eggs and bacon for breakfast. It’s so delicious and creamy, you can even enjoy it on its own.
How do you store leftovers? Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. They can be reheated in the microwave and taste just as good as the first serving.
