Ingredients for Hashbrown Casserole
Frozen Hashbrown Potatoes
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
Unsalted Butter
Yellow Onion
Kosher Salt
Ground Black Pepper
Colby Jack Cheese
You may be surprised to see condensed cream of chicken soup on the ingredient list, but it ties the whole casserole together and makes it extra gooey (it’s even better when you use my homemade version!).
While traditional hashbrowns and home fries are delicious on their own, the melted cheese and creamy soup in this version add mouthwatering texture, flavor, and richness to a traditional dish.
Delicious! Totally disappeared at the family gathering followed by my teenager requesting I make it again…with three pleases. Usually, I hate this type of casserole…because it usually contains way too much sour cream. So, when I was asked to make it, I went searching for a no-sour-cream option. So glad I found this one, it’s a keeper!

Caramelized Onions Add Even More Flavor!
For a little more flavor, I like to caramelize the onions with butter in a frying pan before adding them to the pan. But if you want to skip this extra step, you can keep it simple and just toss the diced onions right in!
Another option is to sprinkle crushed cornflakes on top of the casserole just before you put it in the oven. This adds a crispy layer that gives a satisfying crunch.
How To Make Hashbrown Casserole
1. To make this copycat Cracker Barrel hashbrown casserole recipe start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Then mix the potatoes, cheddar cheese, chicken soup, butter, onion, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
3. Then transfer the mixture into a greased oven-safe casserole dish. Top with more cheese and bake! Yep, it’s that easy!

Steps
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes, cheddar, chicken soup, butter, onion, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Top with the Colby Jack cheese and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish with chives or parsley and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- I personally like to take the extra step and soften my onions with a little butter in a frying pan before adding them to the mixture, but it's not necessary if you want to keep things easy.
- If you want to add a little crunch, I recommend adding crushed corn flakes to the top of the casserole just before baking.
