Often Asked Questions

How Do I Freeze Hash Brown Casserole?

You can freeze any leftovers in an airtight container either as individual servings or enough for your next family dinner.

Can I Use Another Condensed Soup Instead Of Cream Of Chicken?

Absolutely! Other canned soups you can use –

  • Cream of cheddar (which makes a delicious creamy cheese sauce)
  • Cream of mushroom
  • Cream of celery

Why Pat Dry Frozen Hash Browns Before Cooking?

You’ll want to remove as much moisture as possible. This will prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy and gummy.

Can I Use A Different Cheese Other Than Cheddar?

Yes you can! I like to do a mixture of different cheese but always have some cheddar cheese in the recipe. White sharp cheddar, colby, or gruyere cheese can be used.

Can I Make Hash Brown Casserole The Night Before?

You can assemble the casserole the night before. Cover it with aluminum foil and store it in the fridge over night.

Let the casserole get to room temperature prior to baking.
