We went to Cracker Barrel this past week ,they had loaded hash browns but the potato was cubed…. would you use the same ingredients ??

I have eaten this version of the cracker barrel casserole but I’m wondering if it is the original or not.Twenty some years ago,my local Cracker Barrel served a hash brown casserole but it had CHUNKS of Colby and cheddar cheese both and chunks of ham.It was WAY better!It was shaped like a small loaf.Does anyone else remember that version?

Restaurants often change their recipes over the years. This recipe was developed a long time ago.

My recipe is slightly different and imo, has a little more flavor than cracker barrel…
1 bag frozen hash browns
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
16 oz. sour cream
1 small onion chopped
1/4 c. butter
12 oz. cheddar cheese (the sharper the better)
Mix all ingredients except butter. Press into greased casserole dish and pour melted butter over top and around edges. Bake at 350° for 1 hour.

This is a delicious recipe, I was wondering if you bake it, can you warm it up the following day?
Amy Costa says
Hey Karen, I’m not sure if you got the answer to your question but just in case, I’ve always been told to assemble the casserole, refrigerate, take out at least 30 mins before putting in the oven to let it get to room temperature and then bake! That’s what works for me!
Stephanie says
I would melt the cheese and stir it into all of the ingredients before baking it.
Jeanelle Majcen says
YES indeed! Almost better the first day! Best casserole ever!
Betsy Sharer says
Your hash brown casserole is incorrect not only does it have shredded cheese but it also has Velveeta cheese in it. I don’t like Velveeta in general but in this case nothing is interchangeable with this ingredient. I know this as a former employee of Cracker Barrel.
Amy Costa says
Hey Betsy, I was reading your review and was wondering what form the velveeta should be to incorporate it..shredded or lil chunks throughout? Hope to hear back from you, thanks!!
Janice Schrock says
How many does it serve?
wkb says
Can it be made with fresh potatoes?
Stephanie says
I think it could, but you would want to shred the potatoes, and then soak them in water, and then squeeze them very dry in paper towels. This would prevent potential browning.
