CHEESY HASH BROWN CASSEROLE INGREDIENTS
- FROZEN DICED HASH BROWNS: It’s not a hash brown casserole without it, right?
- SALT: Hash browns definitely need just a bit of salt!
- ONION: Onion pulls together a delicious flavor.
- CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP: The cream of chicken serves as a great base to this recipe.
- CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP: The mushroom really adds some great flavors to this dish!
- SOUR CREAM: The sour cream adds a thick and creamy texture that makes this casserole so delicious.
- MILK: The milk really adds to the creaminess of this dish.
- CHEESE: We used cheddar cheese for this recipe, creating such a delicious flavor!
- CORN FLAKES: You’ll love the crunchy coating the corn flakes create.
- BUTTER: You’ll want to melt your butter and bring it to room temp!
HOW TO MAKE CHEESY HASH BROWN CASSEROLE
- PREHEAT: Start by preheating the oven to 350F and spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- MIX INGREDIENTS: In a large bowl, mix the hash browns, salt, onions, soups, sour cream, milk, and cheese together. Pour into a baking dish.
- ADD TOPPING: In another small bowl, mix the crushed corn flakes and melted butter together. Sprinkle evenly across the top of the hash brown mixture.
- BAKE AND SERVE: Bake uncovered for 45 minutes and serve hot. Enjoy!
CAN THIS HASH BROWN CASSEROLE BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?
Yes, absolutely! You can make this the night before and refrigerate once it has cooled and wrap it in foil. Then you can reheat in the morning when everyone is ready to eat.
If you’d like to freeze this hash brown casserole, you can do so by first baking and allowing it to cool. Then, wrap in a few layers of foil and freeze for up to 2 months.
HOW DO YOU REHEAT HASH BROWN CASSEROLE?
If you’d like to reheat the entire casserole (such as after freezing), bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. Or, you can microwave a single serving on a microwave-safe plate for about 30-60 seconds.
HOW LONG WILL HASH BROWN CASSEROLE LAST?
You’ll want to put this in the refrigerator as it will quickly spoil due to the dairy. I wouldn’t leave it out more than a couple of hours. It will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator and 1-2 months in the freezer.
