Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen hash browns
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup butter
- 1 medium onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup optional topping: crushed potato chips or breadcrumbs
Instructions
Spray the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, and garlic powder.
Peel and finely dice the onion, then add it to the mixing bowl. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the mixture to the greased crock pot and spread it out evenly.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the hash browns are tender and cooked through.
If adding a topping (such as crushed potato chips or breadcrumbs), sprinkle it over the hash browns during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Once done, stir gently, then serve warm and enjoy!
