Hashbrown Casserole – A Lovely Mess

For a few years whereas my sister lived in Nashville and I might journey to go to her if in any respect doable, I might cease into Loveless Cafe on the way in which residence. It’s lovely and all their meals is scrumptious, however I particularly love their hashbrown casserole. It is rather much like Cracker Barrel’s hashbrown casserole, one other favourite of mine. 🙂 However even should you’ve by no means been to those eating places it is best to do this recipe—the flavour is superior! It’s closely impressed by each.

This hashbrown casserole recipe is tacky, comforting and SUPER straightforward to make. It is a nice aspect dish for Christmas morning or any breakfast or brunch potluck. I like this alongside bacon and eggs or you may go all in on the casserole theme and make Breakfast Casserole and French Toast Casserole too.

How one can Make Hashbrown Casserole

In the event you’re utilizing frozen hashbrowns, thaw them first. I often do that by leaving the bag within the fridge the night time earlier than I plan to make this.

In a big mixing bowl, mix the shredded hashbrowns, onion powder, garlic powder, bitter cream, condensed soup and half of the shredded cheese. Stir to mix.

Prep your baking dish by spraying with nonstick cooking spray or frivolously greasing with melted butter. Spoon this combination into your baking dish in an excellent layer. Season with salt and pepper and prime with the remaining cheese. Bake within the oven at 375°F for 35 minutes till golden brown. Then sprinkle on the chopped chives.

Suggestions & Substitutions

• Cream of hen soup is what I like to recommend to make this recipe essentially the most “copycat Cracker Barrel” it may be. However, I have to admit that I usually make this with cream of mushroom soup as an alternative. I believe many of the condensed ‘cream of …’ soups can work for this.
• Whereas I have a tendency to stay to sharp cheddar cheese for this, you possibly can actually substitute different cheese like gruyere should you’re fancy or pepper jack should you’re spicy.
• I like some contemporary chives (or inexperienced onion) on prime of this, however you may swap this for one thing extra vacation should you’re needing like thyme or rosemary.
• Whereas I often bake this in a 9×13 casserole dish, you should utilize barely smaller casserole pans and it’ll not make a serious distinction. It might barely change the bake time, however I might simply go by the highest wanting golden brown and starting to bubble across the edges.
• If you wish to make this hashbrown casserole forward of time merely observe the recipe as much as the purpose of baking and as an alternative cowl in aluminum foil and refrigerate till you’re able to bake. You can also make this 1-2 days forward.
• Save any leftovers in an hermetic container within the fridge for least 3 days. Rewarm within the microwave.
