    Easy Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole Recipe

    This Easy Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole is a crowd favorite at any gathering. Simply mix the ingredients together and bake! It could not be any easier!

    This cheesy hash brown casserole recipe is ideal when you are mad at your arteries, need to grow into a new pair of pants, or just feel like people would love you more if there was more of you to love. Really the healthiest thing in this dish is your fork. Yeah… but it is worth it.

    Why is this Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole Easy?

    If you are going to get fat, it is nice if you at least don’t have to spend a lot of effort doing it, and this recipe has you covered (like the tarp you’ll soon be wearing for a shirt)! This cheesy hash brown casserole could not possibly be any easier to make because you don’t have any cutting, peeling, measuring, or sautéing to do! Every ingredient can be purchased from the grocery store in the exact quantity needed for this recipe. Just dump them together and throw it in the oven!

    How to Make Easy Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole

    You will want to purchase frozen shredded hash brown potatoes from the grocery store. Freezing potatoes actually damages their internal structure which allows them to bake up fluffier, which is what we need for this casserole. Being an overachiever I tried shredding the potatoes from scratch and then proceeded to bake it so long my stove's union representative finally filed an unfair labor practice complaint against me... but the raw potato shreds still never softened sufficiently. 

    Most Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole recipes call for sour cream. However, I make my Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole without sour cream. My secret ingredient for this dish is using Green Onion Dip instead, it adds a subtle herbal tanginess. Dean's sells a Green Onion Dip as does the "Top the Tater" brand. However, you are certainly welcomed to use sour cream instead if you wish.

    This dish bakes up perfectly in a 9x13" baking dish, or a 12" cast iron skillet. Technically you could make this recipe in the slow cooker instead, but you would be missing out on the great crisp texture from the crust browning in the oven.

      I made this tonight to go along with dinner. First words out of my significant others mouth was WOW and I have to agree! I only had about 6oz sour cream but I did have some Deans French onion dip so I used that for the balance. It was perfect! Will be making often I’m sure.
