Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 30 oz frozen hash browns
  • 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup diced onion
  • 0.25 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Crock Pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Cooking Spray or Butter

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prep the ingredients by gathering all your ingredients. Take the frozen hash browns out of the freezer to allow them to thaw slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, the can of cream of chicken soup, the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are evenly coated and combined.
  3. Step 3: Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or butter. This step is essential to ensure easy removal of the casserole once it’s cooked.
  4. Step 4: Carefully transfer the mixture into the greased crock pot. Spread it evenly to ensure even cooking.
  5. Step 5: Cover your crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  6. Step 6: After the cooking time, check the casserole. The hash browns should be tender and heated through. If desired, you can remove the lid in the last 15-30 minutes of cooking to let the top crisp up slightly.
  7. Step 7: Once it’s done, scoop out portions and serve warm.
