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.

How many servings does this yield? Wondering if I might need to double for Thanksgiving
Probably 8-10.
Love this casserole. I would definitely add a can of chopped chilis the next time I make it. Think this would jazz up this casserole. Thank you for sharing. Maryann
This recipe has been around for many years, certainly nothing new. Some people call them funeral potatoes.
Cracker Barrel Hashbrown casserole actually has some colby cheese in it also.
I am going to put sausage in mine. Maybe that is what you are thinking about.
Great dish but I feel like something is still missing from it but can’t figure out what
Definitely something missing. I just made this tonight. I have a different cheese hash brown recipe in storage so I turned to Pinterest. It is not the same. What’s missing?? Mine is goo-ier. Also, I put the stick of butter in the dish in the oven while it preheats which is much easier
Does anyone know how many servings this makes? Trying to upsize it for a crowd…
Thanks!
So yummy! I love this recipe! Ultimate comfort food! I sometimes mix it up by using o’brian potatoes (with onion and peppers) :)
Me too!
Can u make with frozwn hash browns?
Yes, just thaw them first.
I have made this before and everyone loved it, but I would like to cut this recipe in half as there is generally only two of us for a regular dinner. How would I go about measuring 15th of frozen hashbrown ? I don’t own a kitchen scale can I measure using cups?
Made this for Easter dinner, but instead of shredded hash brown potatoes I used Ore Ida Cubed Hash Brown potatoes. It was a hit! Very tasty, will definitely make this many more times.
That’s what it is. It’s the cubes not shredded. And maybe an extra can of soup. It should be gooey
Actually, it is shredded potatoes at Cracker Barrel, but you could used cubed. This is my favorite side dish at Cracker Barrel.
Delicious!!!! Tasted just like Cracker Barrels! Even hubby liked it and he’s SUPER Pick! So glad I found this definitely recommend!
Can you add precooked ground sausage?
Can I make ahead of time?
Unsure about the cream of chicken soup – generally this is not Gluten Free.
I also have never seen any cream soups that are guten free. I make my own cream of mushroom soup. So maybe try that with chicken pieces.
Can it be made the night before?? Looking to make for Christmas morning.
I just bought a casserole slow cooker, could this work in that?
I made this today for a surprise Birthday brunch for my husband and people went NUTS over it. Thank goodness I made two batches…hardly any left….
Several people said to me, “I knew you could order pies from Cracker Barrel, but I didn’t know I could get this too!”
This is now a staple in my recipe file and I think I will be passing it on to many others.
Has anyone ever tried this in a slow cooker? Need to bring a “breakfast for lunch” potato dish to work and wondering if this would work in a slow cooker? TIA
Works great in a slow cooker – have done it!!!
How long did it slow cook for and do you use high or low temperature setting?
Thank you for the information on a slow cooker. I’m going to cook it for our friends at our campground for our annual Labor Day get together. 😍
Cook covered???
How many people can eat in one casserole?
