Hash Brown Casserole — A Cheesy Side Dish Fave

CAN YOU MAKE HASH BROWN CASSEROLE AHEAD OF TIME?

It can definitely be made the night before and kept in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. If you plan to add a crunchy topping (like corn flakes,) simply add that, with melted butter, prior to baking.

CAN YOU FREEZE HASH BROWN CASSEROLE?

Since the base of Hash Brown Casserole is frozen hash browns, you may freeze (unbaked) for a short period of time. This is a great time saver in the following weeks, if you’re serving this dish as a component to a more involved dinner that requires lots of cooking  and prep the day of.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

This casserole side goes great with virtually any meal that you would typically serve with baked, fried or mashed potatoes. Some of my favorite meal combinations that meld well with the casserole are:

• Steak
• Hamburgers
• Ham
• Beef Roast
• All Vegetable Meal
• Baked Fish
• Chicken Casserole
• Pork Roast
• Roasted Chicken
• Fried Chicken
• Barbecue

• Fried Catfish

Ingredients

• 1 pkg Frozen hash brown potatoes Country style
• 1 Onion, chopped
• 1 can Cream of mushroom soup

• 1 cup Non-fat yogurt Sour cream may be substituted
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

2. Chop onion and add to the bowl.

3. Add can of mushroom soup and yogurt and incorporate into the mixture.

4. Add melted butter, shredded cheese, salt and pepper and mix. NOTE: Do not add the melted butter until this point because it will "freeze" if added too early to the mixture.

5. Ladle the hash brown mixture into a baking dish.

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the casserole is lightly browned and bubbling.

7. If you would like to make the Hash Brown casserole ahead of time, refrigerate and cover after ladling the hash brown mixture into the baking dish. Prior to baking, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator ten minutes before baking in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the casserole is lightly browned and bubbling.

    

Recipe Notes

A topping of crumbled corn flakes, followed by a drizzle of melted butter (1/2 stick), may also be added to the casserole prior to baking, if you're feeling extra "fancy!"

 

Can You Use Other Potatoes?

Yep! But for fresh, you would need to do your own experimenting; we always use the frozen. You can also use frozen shredded potatoes, which is probably equally as popular as the frozen potato chunks.
