 Baked Cheddar Hash Brown Casserole Recipe

Do you love pulling out old recipes that you haven’t made for a long time? I sure do, this Baked Cheddar Hash Brown Casserole Recipe was really popular back about 20-30 years ago.

The good news is that this hashbrown casserole recipe is gaining in popularity again. Part of the reason for its comeback is how really simple and easy these casseroles are to throw together and cook.

These cheesy potatoes make a great side dish to take to a potluck or family dinner. Nobody has to know how quick it is using frozen hashbrowns either!

If you would like to make this for a breakfast you can add in sausage or bacon, which would be divine too. Some of these hash brown casseroles are egg-based but this one will take you right from breakfast to dinner. 

How to Make a Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole?

Not only is it a delicious and decadent recipe but super easy to make! A hash brown casserole is full of cheesy goodness. 

This goes great at a brunch or a casual dinner to feed a crowd. It would make a superb potluck meal to take to an Easter dinner too as it would be gorgeous with ham.

You need only a few ingredients and using a bag of frozen hash browns that have been thawed makes this very simple to pull together.

What makes this so delicious? It has the richness of melted butter, plus two cups of shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. 

Just mix all the ingredients up in a large bowl and have a prepared pan made up with cooking spray and your oven to 350 degrees. 

Leftovers are the best also! A quick run through the microwave and your side dish is up and being served again!

Creamy and amazing, your family will love this scrumptious casserole! This dish is extremely versatile too.

Add what you like to it, this casserole is very customizable! A really simple change is to start with the soup.

Changing up the soup to cream of chicken soup, cream of celery, or cream of cheddar will give the casserole a totally different flavour.

This casserole would liven up any weeknight meal for the family. The kids would be diving into the cheesy goodness!

You could hide some veggies in there also if you like – I could see peas and peppers being perfectly delicious in this casserole. Or broccoli and cauliflower – they go well with anything that has cheese and this casserole has lots of cheese.

If you wanted to make it a meal, you could add some meat protein too. Have some leftover cooked ham, chicken, or turkey in the fridge or freezer? You could put that in before cooking.  

Or serve eggs and sausage with this as a cheesy breakfast casserole star of brunch.

I love how the top gets a little crispy when it is cooked to a golden brown. Grab a big spoon to get an extra-large scoop. You are going to love this Baked Cheddar Hash brown Casserole. 

You can make this easy cheesy hash brown casserole up to 24 hours before you want to cook it if you’re looking to save time.

Just get everything ready and pop it in the fridge until you want to cook it. This is a great option if you are using this as a breakfast casserole. Put it together the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning for an easy breakfast.

If you want to freeze this casserole, you can but you should cook it before freezing. Sour cream is one of the ingredients in the dish and the texture can be affected by freezing.

For the best texture, cook the casserole as directed and then let it cool completely. Wrap it in aluminum foil and pop it in the freezer. Allow it to thaw before reheating.

This cheesy hash brown casserole is just like a scalloped potato recipe but even easier. It could make an appearance at any holiday table – it’s a real crowd pleaser and if you take it to an event, someone is sure to ask for the recipe!

Sometimes these casseroles are called funeral potatoes too. The story is that in certain parts of North America, you wouldn’t be able to attend a funeral reception without there being at least one cheesy hash brown casserole. 

Cheese and potatoes are classic comfort foods, so it really makes sense.

    Do you cover this during baking time?

      No it is uncovered. I will make a note of that. If at anytime it browns too much you can always cover.

    So tasty! I did not have cream of mushroom, so I used cream of chicken. The parmesan cheese added a delicious flavor. Everyone loved it!

      Subbing in a different cream soup is great!! Will just give it a slightly different flavor. So glad everyone love it!!

    Could you make smaller batches and freeze them cooked… For those super busy days ?

      I would say yes that you can. Sometimes potatoes aren’t the best to freeze like in a soup but in this recipe, I think they would be just fine.
