Hashbrown Casserole with a Crockpot Trick

by Tiffany on January 20, 2009

This hashbrown casserole can be baked in an oven or done in the crockpot. It can even be frozen and baked another day.

Gather up your ingredients:

1 bag frozen, shredded hash brown potatoes
8 oz sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup butter, melted
onion, chopped fine (about 1/2 a small onion)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a bit more if you like)

Stir all the ingredients together. Bake in an oven at 350 degrees for about 1 hour. Or place in the crockpot to cook them.

I know that looks pretty messy. I just mixed the ingredients right in the crockpot. I wanted to have this with ham, but didn’t want the smoky taste to go through the potatoes too much so I used a trick I learned on Crockpot 365. I made a foil packet with the ham in it and placed it on top of the potatoes. Both foods cooked perfectly and the flavors didn’t mingle during the cooking.

Great idea! I also read Crockpot365, but missed that tip. Thanks!

Perfect idea and it turned out great. I dont remember that tip either. I guess that makes three of us.

The crockpot tip actually came from a recipe she shared for steak, baked potatoes and corn on the cob. The steak went in the bottom with a bit of liquid and seasonings. The potatoes and corn on the cobs were individually wrapped in foil and placed on top of the steak. It works great. All the foods have their own flavor.

about the trick with the ham. Thanks for sharing!!

Cool trick with the foil packet. Who would have thunk it? I’ll definitely be trying that!

How long did you cook these in the crock pot? This is such a great idea!!! I am totally going to make this later in the week!

9 Margaret January 21, 2009 at 6:18 am

Oh man, hashbrown casserole is one of my favorites! In a crockpot…even better.

17 Lori January 28, 2009 at 6:51 am

This is our family’s favorite!! YUM!! :)

18 BousMama January 30, 2009 at 6:54 am

This looks so great! I am really glad you left a message on my blog that led me here. I have bookmarked yours. Love the recipes!

19 That's what she said March 2, 2009 at 9:14 am

How long did these cook in the crock pot. I have one that seems to burn everything. I have learned that if I put it on low when I leave at 7 & the husband cuts it on warm when he comes home at 12 then by 6 it is perfectly cooked but didn't know if these would burn doing that.

20 Tiffany March 2, 2009 at 9:31 am

I think if that’s what works with your crockpot, that method would work with these. They really don’t need much cooking, so low to warm should work.

21 Kim July 3, 2009 at 12:03 am

I would love to try making this in my crockpot. Great idea!

22 Tina August 3, 2009 at 10:42 am

Super yummy I cant wait to make this dish. I have already done my menu for this month, but it is going on my september dinner menu. This meal is so stinking easy. Thanks

23 Tina September 25, 2009 at 10:14 am

I made this casserole and it was wonderul thanks for sharing the recipe Tiffany.

24 Brenda McKee September 29, 2009 at 3:45 pm

My husband and son loved these hashbrowns. I think they were a little overdone in the crockpot as I left them all day. I think they would have been delicous at only 4 or 5 hours!!

25 Sheila October 28, 2009 at 10:52 am

Just found your site today, and love your recipes. Simple, easy, and delicious are what I need! :)

26 Rachelle @ "Mommy? I'm Hungry!" January 28, 2010 at 1:46 am

When I saw this at Mommy’s Kitchen last Sept. I had to make it! I only just now got to get it blogged. We love this dish! I bake mine in the oven though. Have a look:

Just made this today in the crockpot and it didn’t look very appetizing, more like mush. Maybe reducing the butter would help. I didn’t check it and after 4 hours it was burned and the sausages overcooked.
