Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole

Crispy hashbrowns and cheesy goodness come together to create this tasty cheesy hash brown casserole.

What makes this recipe so delicious is the combination of cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, just the right spices, a little onion, and a lot of delicious cheese. Because if you’re going to make cheesy hashbrowns, you should go all out and make delicious ones.

If you’re going to make cheesy hashbrowns, make ones that are so good you can’t stop eating them

A simple way to keep the hashbrowns from drying out in the oven is to cover them in foil until right before the end of their cooking time.  Then take off the foil to let the cheese brown on top.

Covering the hashbrowns with foil until the end helps to keep the moisture in

An easy way to transport dishes like this is to pick up a Pyrex 4 Piece Storage Set. What we love about this set is it comes with a snap on lid that makes it easy to store dishes in the fridge and it comes with a handy insulated carrying case that has handled, which make it easy to carry when you’re bringing food to a friend’s house. 

This cheesy hashbrown casserole is a delicious side dish that goes incredibly well with our maple bourbon glazed grilled ham, oven roasted chicken, or just about anything else.

If for some reason you end up with leftovers use the hashbrowns to make these sandwiches.
