The Best Hashbrown Casserole Recipe

This is the best hashbrown casserole out there. It’s cheesy, creamy and, the best part, it’s really easy to make.

This classic hashbrown casserole is the star of any brunch or breakfast gathering. Take it to a potluck (or eat it all yourself!).

Have you had hashbrown casserole before? Maybe at a restaurant like Cracker Barrel. Or maybe at a breakfast potluck. I’m sure you’ve tried it. And I’m sure you loved it. How could you not? It’s a potato carb fest made out of shredded potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, and cheddar cheese, all baked together under a crunchy top.

To make this potato delight, you mix together store-bought frozen shredded hashbrowns with a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup (or you can use this homemade condensed soup instead), a cup of sour cream, cheddar cheese, a chopped onion and some salt. Then you put it into a 13×9 pan and top it with crushed crackers. Cheesy ones like Ritz. Give it a little blast of cooking spray and bake it until it’s heated through and brown on top. Then try to not eat it all before breakfast time!
