Hash Brown Casserole

Jane Crompton

This hash brown casserole has to be the most tweaked recipe that I have seen over the years. My version started plain; there was a missing spice. I add this and that over the years until I finally came across a flavorful version that my entire family loved.

If you love potatoes and cheese, then you will like this hash brown casserole. This is a great dish to take to a BBQ. It’s good hot and at room temperature. If you're lucky to have leftovers the next day, it’s even better. Next time you’re in the mood for a hash brown casserole, give my version a try and see for yourself; the spices make all the difference.

Ingredients

1 pound shredded hash browns (such as Simply Potatoes), thawed if frozen
2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese grated extra sharp cheddar cheese, divided (1½ cups for the mixture + ½ cup for topping)
10 ½ ounce can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
2 tablespoons dried minced onion or ½ cup (75g) finely chopped fresh onion
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C (180°C fan-forced).
Combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, parsley flakes, chopped onion and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Add shredded hash browns and 1 1/2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese to the soup mixture. Stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch (20x20cm) or 2-quart baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the cheese on top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This resting time lets the casserole set so it holds together when scooped.
