Perfect side dish to for any occasion. Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole made in the slow cooker. Filled with sour cream and cheese and cooked to perfection.

I used to make a version in my oven, and it finally dawned on me to try it out in my slow cooker. It worked great! I like to serve these potatoes with prime rib, or steaks. Each bite I take has a little meat, and a little potato, match made in heaven!

I took a picture of the hash browns I use below. Every time I use a packaged potato product, people want to be sure to get the right one, so here it is, no confusion. I did add these potatoes to my slow cooker frozen, and it did fine.

Make sure to spray your slow cooker very, very well with non-stick spray! You’ll thank me later.

Don’t these look amazing? I don’t recommend making this cheesy of a dish everyday, but this recipe is perfect for a special dinner or party.

      This recipe turned out great! The fact that it did not have cream of chicken soup was a plus for one our family members that is vegetarian. This will be my go to for party potatoes.

      You give all the nutritional information for this recipe (which is great), but you don’t state the serving size. Based off 8 people… but how much did those 8 people get? 1 cup? 2 cups?

      Wow, this came out absolutely perfect! I volunteered to bring them for Thanksgiving at my cousins. This was my first time making cheesy potatoes, so I was nervous. Everyone loved them, and I loved the simplicity of the recipe (no cannned soup). I didn’t use onion, and would double next time for a bigger gathering. Thank you!

      I usually always sub Greek yogurt for sour cream…could I still do that in this you think?

        I have done this in hot dishes before and the yogurt turns to water. If you have done it in hot dishes with success it may work with the brand you like.

        I dislike sour cream or yogurt. Can I try a different type of cream soup instead?

          I’m unsure how it would be changing both of the main ingredients. I apologize, can’t say without testing out.
