Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz Frozen shredded hash browns
- 10.5 oz Cream of chicken soup
- 1.5 cups Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced onion. Mix until evenly distributed.
Add the frozen hash browns to the mixture and gently stir until the hash browns are fully coated.
Transfer the mixture into the greased crock pot and spread it out evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 5 hours, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly.
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole and close the lid to let the cheese melt.
Once the casserole is fully cooked and the cheese on top is melted, carefully remove the lid and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
Spoon the casserole onto plates or into bowls and enjoy!
