Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen shredded hash browns (thawed)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (low-sodium)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter to melt.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is tender and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the low-sodium chicken broth and plain Greek yogurt.
In a large bowl, combine the thawed shredded hash browns, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, black pepper, dried thyme, and the cooked onion mixture. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the hash brown mixture into a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, toss the panko bread crumbs with the olive oil until well coated.
Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top of the hash brown casserole.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
