Perfect side dish for you today! This Slow Cooker Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole is SO GOOD! 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.

Cheese and potatoes — it doesn’t get any better than that!
What cooking time would you suggest for making 1.5x the recipe and 2x the recipe? Needing to make this for a large family gathering.
Also, would either fit all into a 6qt?
If I double the recipe what time should be used THNX
Although it’s a good dish, I have cheesy mashed potatoes instead of hasbrowns.
If I double this will it fit in a 6 qt. Crock pot ?
I think it would!
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.
If I double this recipe, do I increase the cook time?
Just a little bit and keep the lid on.
I have not tried, I would think just a bit more time. 🙂
Can u use real shredded potatoes?
