Hash Brown Casserole
This super easy recipe for the best creamy, cheesy hash brown casserole, also known as funeral potatoes, is great for feeding a crowd! This spin on a classic potato dish is made with frozen hash browns, but without canned soup, and without cornflakes. Why I’m Addicted to Hash Brown Casserole It will feed a crowd It travels well, which makes it perfect for a potluck dinner It makes a great warm side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner It can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving Most importantly, this casserole is delicious! The Soup Funeral potatoes typically call for canned condensed cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup. To take a short cut, you can easily use soup from a can. Or, you can make your own condensed cream of chicken soup in just 15 minutes with ingredients you most likely have on hand. In a saucepan, bring 3/4 cup chicken broth, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 tsp dried thyme, 1/8 tsp ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt to a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup half and half or milk and 1/4 cup flour until smooth. Whisk the flour mixture into the broth and continue whisking for about 3 minutes, until the mixture bubbles and thickens. This is the equivalent of 1 can of store bought condensed cream of chicken soup. How to Make Hash Brown Casserole In a large bowl, combine 32 ounces frozen hash browns, 8 ounces sour cream, 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (which is the equivalent of the amount made above), 2 cups grated cheddar cheese, and 1 tsp salt. Mix together 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese. Add the hash brown mixture to an oven safe baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and top with bread crumbs. Artzy Foodie Pro Tip: For an alternate topping, crush 2 cups of cornflakes and mix with 4 tbsp melted butter. Bake another 10 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Can Hash Brown Casserole be Made Ahead of Time Yes! Once the hash brown mixture has been added to the baking dish, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Because the casserole will be cold from the refrigerator, add 10 minutes to the initial baking time, top with the bread crumbs and bake 10 more minutes, until golden brown. How to Store and Reheat Leftover Hash Brown Casserole Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Reheat on the lower shelf of the oven so that the topping doesn’t burn, at 300 degrees until warm.
