Crockpot hashbrown casserole is easy, cheesy, and a family favorite! It’s perfect for a potluck, brunch, or easy Sunday side dish.
Slow cooker recipes to the rescue! This casserole is as easy and cheesy as our Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese.
We Love Cheese and Potatoes!
What I love about the slow cooker is the set-it-and-forget-it mindset.
That’s one reason why we love this crock pot version of our classic Hash Brown Casserole (very similar to Funeral Potatoes)!
Why we love it:
- Easy! This is a dump-it-and-go kind of dish perfect for holidays or busy days.
- Texture. From the cheese to the potatoes and cornflakes, there’s crispiness all over this dish.
- Flavor. This crockpot hashbrown casserole is one of the tastiest and easiest casseroles we’ve ever made.
- Holidays. Serve for your Easter Sunday brunch, Thanksgiving Dinner, or with leftover holiday ham.
Either way, put this into your permanent breakfast or side dish rotation. You won’t be sorry, and your family will love you even more for it!
Ingredients
- cream of chicken soup – or use cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom soup, or a can of cream of chicken & mushroom soup.
- sour cream – or Greek yogurt
- frozen shredded hash brown potatoes – use an equal amount of frozen diced potatoes. You can also use fresh potatoes. See below for instructions.
- diced ham – or crumbled sausage, or top with cooked crumbled bacon.
- sharp cheddar cheese- use Colby jack cheese as well or a combination of the two. Increase the amount for extra cheesy hash browns.
- onions – or mix in diced bell peppers
- black pepper – for added flavor use garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or red chili flakes.
- Cornflakes – If you don’t have cornflakes, use crushed crackers or Panko for some crunch.

To Use Fresh Potatoes
You will need about 4 Russet potatoes. Peel and shred the potatoes.
- Place them in a pot of water and bring to a boil, then turn off the burner.
- Let the potatoes sit in the hot water for about 5 minutes, then drain.
- Add to the crock pot and proceed with the recipe.
Making hashbrown casserole in the crockpot

- SLOW COOK. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased crock pot. Set on HIGH, cook for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

This is a family favorite. It is often requested. I find it to be very convenient, since it can be assembled in advance without the topping, then frozen to be baked when needed.
