Crockpot Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole
Darryl requests my Mom’s Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole all the time. It is one of his all-time favorites. But in the summertime, who wants to heat up the house using the oven? Not this gal. So I decided to try and switch things up a bit, and make a Crockpot Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole.
Perfection! The same yummy taste without a unbearably hot house. Darryl thought I should put a warning on this recipe. WARNING: It is impossible to only eat one serving of these cheesy spuds 🙂
Not only is this Crockpot Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole a great side dish, surprise your family with this cheesy goodness for breakfast! Pair with some protein packed eggs and fresh fruit…..BAM! A breakfast your family will be talking about for weeks.

Just wanted to thank you for such a great recipe! It has become an absolute must for holiday meals with my family. I did adjust a few things. I use Cream of Chicken With Herbs, a little less sour cream, mixture of cheddar/jack cheese, extra butter. (Sometimes I spoon some into a casserole dish after they’re done, put more cheese on top and under the broiler.) I gave my husband a choice between these potatoes or mashed potatoes and gravy for our Thanksgiving meal tomorrow and within a half a second he texted one word: “Cheesy!” My sons are with their Dad this Thanksgiving, but I had to promise to make this again at Christmas. I love having a recipe that everyone loves, looks forward to and will identify with our family’s holidays for the rest of their lives. Thanks again!
Also…love having a holiday crock pot recipe that helps me free up valuable oven real estate!!
P.S.S. I meant to give it 5 stars but missed the chance!
Thanks Leanne!
You’re welcome! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
I am thinking of making this for my son’s highschool wrestling team for our Saturday tournaments that last at least 7 hours, I would need to make an extra half recipe to this since these boys are trying to make weight all week and are usually starving by Saturday. Do you think if I cooked it from about midnight til 5 am which is close to leaving time that once I get to the meet at 8 and put it on low for the day it will be ok.
I mean warm all day not low lol
That sounds like a good plan Brandie 🙂 I would just keep an eye on it towards the end to make sure nothing is burning.
You sold me on two things…potato soup and BAM!!!
Can this recipe be doubled if I use the largest crock pot? I have a large family and I’m afraid it won’t be enough since adding ham I could make this a main dish. Made this last Christmas and my kids haven’t stopped talking about it! Excellent dish. Thank you
This filled my 6qt, so I would worry about doubling it with just one crockpot Shelley. By chance do you have 2 crockpots?
Yes. I double it every time in my huge crock pot. LOVE this recipe. My family requests it all the time.
I never seen answer above on using raw potatoes instead of the refridgerator or frozen potatoes. Has anyone tried using fresh raw potatoes? Do you know how many used?
