HEAVENLY HASH BROWN CASSEROLE



Heavenly Hash Brown Casserole image

This is another recipe handed down from my husband's family. During the stressful meeting-of-the-parents times over the course of our relationship, this hash brown casserole was perhaps one of the only things I could look forward to without some level of hesitation! We still make it as often as we can justify it, which sadly is less often than we wish it were. (Stupid calories.) We have tried making it with low-fat ingredients and it does work nicely, but full-fat ingredients will make it shine. Note that the sizing of frozen hash brown bags doesn't always allow for you to buy a two-pound bag, so you may need to mix and match until you get that amount. We usually have some frozen hash browns left over when we make it, which can be used in any number of other recipes as desired. Also note that the topping is technically optional, but we highly recommend using it. It adds a wonderful texture that we would miss if it weren't included. If you have any casserole left over (no promises!) then this reheats well too.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 casserole, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs frozen hash browns, thawed
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 cups corn flakes, crushed

Steps:

  • Mix all casserole ingredients together in a large bowl, then pour into a greased 9x13 pan.
  • If using the topping, mix the topping ingredients together in a medium bowl, then sprinkle it over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Prep the Potatoes Right: Use russet potatoes for a fluffy texture and grate them with the large holes of a box grater. Soaking the grated potatoes in cold water removes excess starch, resulting in crispier hash browns.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the hash browns, spread them out evenly in a single layer to ensure they get crispy. Overcrowding the pan will steam the potatoes instead of browning them.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh ingredients like onions, bell peppers, and cheese to enhance the flavor of your casserole. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can also add a pop of freshness.
  • Don't Skimp on the Cheese: Use a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese for a gooey, cheesy casserole. You can also add other cheeses like mozzarella or Parmesan for extra flavor.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and bubbling. This ensures that the casserole is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

The heavenly hash brown casserole is a versatile and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its crispy hash brown base, flavorful fillings, and cheesy topping, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast casserole, a comforting side dish, or a quick and easy meal, this recipe has you covered. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to indulge in a delicious and heavenly hash brown casserole!
