Learn how to make Cracker Barrel's Hashbrown Casserole at home with five simple ingredients. Perfect for breakfast or a weeknight side dish!
The closet Cracker Barrel to my home is about 45 minutes away so we don't eat there very often; however, when we drive to FL or PA while visiting our daughter in college we generally stop there for breakfast.
Their Hashbrown Casserole is one of the only things I order off of their entire menu because I always thought it wasn't something I could replicate at home. Thank goodness I found a recipe that is spot on that I can now make at home.
On most Sunday mornings we have what we like to call a "big breakfast". This means I'll go all out and make eggs, bacon, and some sort of potato.
My favorite is potatoes with chorizo and onions, but I haven't found a good chorizo here in NJ in quite some time. I do purchase some online from Massachusetts, but I'm all out. I decided to experiment with one of my favorite breakfast hashbrown casseroles instead.
There are only five ingredients in this casserole including frozen shredded potatoes, butter, onion, cream of chicken soup and shredded Colby Jack cheese.
The entire recipe takes less than 10 minutes to put together because you can just combine everything together in a bowl, add it to a casserole dish and then bake it for 20 minutes.
In 30 minutes, you can make this favorite restaurant copycat recipe for Hashbrown Casserole at home. It's deliciously cheesy and perfect for Sunday breakfast or as a side dish to accompany your main dinner entree.
My family LOVED this recipe and can't wait for me to make it again. Next time, I think I'll try it with fat free soup and cheese to reduce some of the calories and fat. ~Enjoy!

I plan to make this for our church's Easter breakfast after sunrise service. Is it OK to double this recipe? Will it fit in a 13x9 baking dish?

It's ok to double the recipe and should fit in a 13 x 9 dish. I used a 2 qt casserole dish when I made this recipe so that size should be fine. Enjoy and Happy Easter!

Looks like a perfect way to start a football Sunday! Has anyone ever added diced ham or ground sausage maybe?
