This creamy, savory casserole is the ultimate hands-off comfort food. Made with frozen hash browns, creamy soups, sour cream, and plenty of cheese, it cooks slowly in your crockpot for a perfect weeknight side or hearty brunch dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (30 oz) bag frozen shredded hash browns, do not thaw
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the inside of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker insert with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Stir in the diced onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
  4. Add the frozen hash browns and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Fold gently until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared slow cooker and spread into an even layer.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, until the edges are bubbly and the center is hot and set.
  8. Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes with the lid off before serving. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired.

Notes

Always use frozen hash browns; thawed potatoes will make the casserole soggy. Do not cook on HIGH, as this can cause the dairy to separate. Taste before adding the full salt, as the soups are already salty. For a vegetarian version, use cream of mushroom or celery soup.
