We make a trip to Cracker Barrel occasionally for our family meals out. They have some amazing comfort food dishes. Most of the family choose breakfast food. We all LOVE breakfast food for breakfast or for dinner.

After eating at Cracker Barrel a few weeks ago, my kids asked for me to make a copycat recipe of their delicious hash browns. They are overly amazing and just taste way different than any that I have made at home. I did a bit of searching online and found a recipe for a Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole over on GetInMyBelly. Come to find out, it is sour cream and cream soup that really pushes these hash brown potatoes over the top.

I did a few modifications to that recipe and made this amazing Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole to enjoy with our dinner for breakfast this week. I did use sharp cheddar cheese because I like that it keeps our dishes from becoming overly greasy. I considered adding in some Colby but I did not have any on hand.

The addition of the sour cream and the cream chicken soup really made the casserole just like Cracker Barrel. My hubby is not a fan of sour cream so I made him our Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples for him. Those are delicious and are an awesome copycat recipe.

Since this is a decent sized casserole, I think it will be great for potlucks or any time that we are feeding a crowd. I think we will make it for our next big family and friends breakfast. I know it will be a hit.

  1. Oh my, this sounds amazing! I love making casseroles, I’m definitely going to add this to my list. Pinned ๐Ÿ“Œ
    Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful casserole recipe with Sweet Tea & Friends this month.

  2. 5 stars
    We love this recipe. My big question is, can you make ahead of time then freeze and cook later? Any suggestions on that?

  3. Jen,

    Based on the pictures of the finished casserole, it looks like you overlooked adding the last cup of shredded cheese over the top of the casserole before you bake it. Is that missing step correct? I prepared it yesterday for my mom’s church potluck. It was a great hit with all. Thanks for the recipe! It’s a keeper.

    1. Hi Leonard! OH MY! I can not believe this recipe has been on my blog for 8 years and I have never realized that that last step of adding the cheese topping is not in the recipe. Thanks for pointing it out. I will get it fixed today. I am so happy you chose this dish for your church potluck, it’s always a hit. Thanks again and have a wonderful day! – Jen

    This recipe was super easy and absolutely delicious! The only thing I changed is, I added more cheese. My family loves cheese. This will definitely be added to one of my frequent side dishes.

  5. I have really enjoyed this recipe. I have made it at least 10 times. I always get compliments and people ask me to bring it to occasions. Thank you for sharing!

    1. that was my question too. I couldn’t find an answer any where. I hate recipes that leave part of the process out

      1. The recipe calls for 8oz SHREDDED cheddar cheese or 1 cup. If you need two cups it should say 8oz cheddar cheese, shredded. Which is correct?

  6. 5 stars
    I came across this recipe from a friend and I wanted to try it. When it first came out, I thought it looked a bit too complicated…but then I tried it and loved! It’s easy, quick, & delicious.

  7. You mention salt as an ingredient but don’t say to add it. You also don’t say if we should add the last cup of cheese to the top? Then what cover it or just bake it..

    Cincyshopper…weโ€™re pretty close to each other,Iโ€™m across the river. That is a good recipe and sometimes I add some diced very small country ham to the recipe. Itโ€™s a Chang from the norm sometimes. One thing I have noticed reading the comments is that there are some pretty dumb people in this world. And some terrible cooks. Iโ€™m definitely not gonna shelter in place unless thereโ€™s a damn tornado bearing down on me but then again I can understand why we have an idiot in the Oval Office!

    1. Wow, thatโ€™s pretty harsh! Must be tough to be so flawless.

      But no, Trump wasnโ€™t in office anymore, thank God.

        Good recipe. My sister sent it to me to make as my โ€œrequired dishโ€ for some event she was having.. And it turned out really well.
        Also- regardless of what side of whatever body of water everyone resides on, Iโ€™m going to have to say that there actually ARE some wildly idiotic comments that have been made and questions that have been asked regarding this extremely simple to throw together recipe.

      2. This is not the place for political commentary. Keep it to yourself unless you’re talking about the recipe. No one cares what you think about politics

      Has anyone tried this recipe grating your own potatoes? Iโ€™ve been to two stores and no frozen hash brown in any of them!
