Hashbrown Casserole Recipe
The holidays are just around the corner and this Hashbrown Casserole is super easy to make and Always a crowd-pleaser! Since it’s pretty rich, I like to have it during the holidays. It’s definitely not something we have every week! I went to a luncheon once where the hostess served it with club sandwiches and baked beans (and it was great), but I identify this mostly with the holiday season (although I will sometimes pull it out for a special breakfast).
I keep an eye out for the pre-made hash browns to go on sale, and I will purchase them and hang onto them until I need them. I usually find shredded cheese, soup, butter and Ritz crackers all on sale right at the holidays.
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp Mrs Dash (optional)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 32 oz frozen hash potatoes
- ½-1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
- ½ melted butter, for topping
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all ingredients through soup. Fold in hashbrowns, then transfer to a 9x13 baking dish.
- Top potatoes with cracker crumbs and pour remaining butter over.
- Bake 45 minutes.

That sounds yummy! So do you use 1/2 cup of melted butter in the casserole itself AND 1/2 cup melted butter on top? Just want to be sure I’m clear on that. Will have this with our Thanksgiving dinner in place of the traditional mashed potatoes. Can’t wait! (And I might not! LOL)
Bev, yes, half goes in the casserole and half goes in the topping!
Hello. You said you were going to use fresh potatoes this time. In your experience, approximately how many potatoes have you used to substitute for the 32 oz hashbrowns? I love your website!
Thanks, Tonya! I use around 6-8 large sized potatoes. If they are smaller, you will want to use more. Hope this helps!
Tonya, I would say around 4-5 medium sized potatoes, or you could measure it out and get about 4 cups to do the same trick!
How do you flash freeze fresh potatoes and use it in the casserole.
Nevermind. I found the video. Thanks.
