Hashbrown Casserole – A Stunning Mess

For a few years whereas my sister lived in Nashville and I’d journey to go to her if in any respect attainable, I’d cease into Loveless Cafe on the way in which residence. It’s lovely and all their meals is scrumptious, however I particularly love their hashbrown casserole. It is extremely much like Cracker Barrel’s hashbrown casserole, one other favourite of mine. 🙂 However even in case you’ve by no means been to those eating places it is best to do this recipe—the flavour is superior! It’s closely impressed by each.

This hashbrown casserole recipe is tacky, comforting and SUPER simple to make. It is a nice facet dish for Christmas morning or any breakfast or brunch potluck. I really like this alongside bacon and eggs or you possibly can go all in on the casserole theme and make Breakfast Casserole and French Toast Casserole too.

Learn how to Make Hashbrown Casserole

For those who’re utilizing frozen hashbrowns, thaw them first. I often do that by leaving the bag within the fridge the evening earlier than I plan to make this.

In a big mixing bowl, mix the shredded hashbrowns, onion powder, garlic powder, bitter cream, condensed soup and half of the shredded cheese. Stir to mix.

Prep your baking dish by spraying with nonstick cooking spray or calmly greasing with melted butter. Spoon this combination into your baking dish in a good layer. Season with salt and pepper and prime with the remaining cheese. Bake within the oven at 375°F for 35 minutes till golden brown. Then sprinkle on the chopped chives.

Ideas & Substitutions

• Cream of rooster soup is what I like to recommend to make this recipe essentially the most “copycat Cracker Barrel” it may be. However, I need to admit that I typically make this with cream of mushroom soup as a substitute. I feel many of the condensed ‘cream of …’ soups can work for this.
• Whereas I have a tendency to stay to sharp cheddar cheese for this, you could possibly definitely substitute different cheese like gruyere in case you’re fancy or pepper jack in case you’re spicy.
• I really like some contemporary chives (or inexperienced onion) on prime of this, however you possibly can swap this for one thing extra vacation in case you’re needing like thyme or rosemary.
• Whereas I often bake this in a 9×13 casserole dish, you should use barely smaller casserole pans and it’ll not make a serious distinction. It might barely change the bake time, however I’d simply go by the highest trying golden brown and starting to bubble across the edges.
• If you wish to make this hashbrown casserole forward of time merely observe the recipe as much as the purpose of baking and as a substitute cowl in aluminum foil and refrigerate till you’re able to bake. You can also make this 1-2 days forward.
• Save any leftovers in an hermetic container within the fridge for least 3 days. Rewarm within the microwave.
