    Copycat Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole

    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.

    All that is needed to make this Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole is some shredded hash brown potatoes, sour cream, butter, cheese, onion, salt, and pepper. Throw it all together and you can have it in the oven in no time.

      Cincyshopper…we’re pretty close to each other,I’m across the river. That is a good recipe and sometimes I add some diced very small country ham to the recipe. It’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. I’m definitely not gonna shelter in place unless there’s a damn tornado bearing down on me but then again I can understand why we have an idiot in the Oval Office!

          Good recipe. My sister sent it to me to make as my “required dish” 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, I’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.

      If I want to grace my own potatoes, how many cups do I need? Also, how to I prepare the potatoes besides peeling and grading them? Do they need to be rinsed? Or just squeeze the liquid out of them, or rinse and squeeze the liquid out?

      Your ingredients only call for 8oz of cheese, in the instructions it says to reserve 1cup for the top… 8oz=1cup? So technically you need 2 cups????

      Dish turned out good but there were no instructions on when to add the 1 tsp salt. And to top the casserole with the reserved cup of cheese. For people who don’t normally cook this could cause some issues. Pics are great but if someone prints the recipe …not there. Fortunately I cook all the time.

        Hi Janice! You can make the Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole ahead of time. I have assembled it the night before, covered with plastic wrap and then popped it in the oven in the morning. If you are needing to freeze the casserole, I suggest baking and then freezing. I hope that helps. Merry Christmas to you!

      Thank you for sharing your recipe. I made it exactly as you said to but I used a smaller crockpot. The consistency was really good. I do like a crunchier edge but it had a decent small crust on the side of the pot with yummy melted cheese on top. I’m not huge on canned cream soups so I may omit half the can next time and substitute more cheese, but everyone who ate this liked it a lot. Thank you again!

      As you are very close to the recipe, I used to work there in the late 80`s. I have 1 cookbook from them. I was a backup cook. Basically, I made everything for the cooks.
      Ingredients are as follows:

      cream of chicken soup 51oz can
      grated colby 2lbs 2 oz
      chopped onion 11oz

          You can definitely make ahead of time – I almost always do! My advice would be to let it come to room temp if possible before popping into the oven, I find it cooks a little more evenly. But no big deal if you don’t have time for that!

            I’ve been wondering because the recipe only calls for 8 oz which is a cup but the instructions say to use all but one cup. So maybe it should be more than a cup? Or reserve less for topping?

              Hi girls! I am so sorry for the confusion. If you shred your 8 oz would be the weight of the cheese. It will create around 2 cups or so of loose shredded in a measuring cup. So reserve one cup of non compacted cheese.

            • Niki

              April 14, 2019 at 11:11 am

              8oz by volume is 1 cup; 8oz of cheese by weight is actually 2 cups.
