I made this for Fathers Day breakfast and it passed the test with flying colors. I used the "southern" style hashbrowns and put my own twist on it knowing what my husband and adult sons would like. I used only one can of cream of celery soup, added one can of cream of mushroom, 1 can of sliced mushrooms, 1 tsp. red pepper flakes, 1 large chopped jalapeno and 2 cloves of minced garlic. I omited the butter and just put a sprinkle of crushed Ritz crackers on top to brown the last 15 minutes. Leftovers were even better today at lunch! Thanks for a new family favorite!!

Very disappointed. It looked and smelled geat but tasted horrible. I brought it to a cook-out, everyone said it was good but "different". Less than half was eaten from a crowd of 16. The hot sauce was over-powering and it was not nearly cheesy enough. I followed the directions exactly.

i omitted the onion and hot pepper sauce, added minced onion, pamrsean and herb seasoning and used cream of mushroom soup. this turned out pretty good, i think i used too much sour cream( i never measure, lol) but i would make this again. my bf LOVED all the cheese on top.

I would give this five stars but hubby and my mother didn't think it was as good as I did. I only used one can of cream of celery and didn't use any crackers on top, I sprinkled cheese instead. I have to say it was even better the next day!

Very good!! I usually make a different hash brown casserole recipe, but this one was great. The hot sauce gave it a new kick!

I loved this dish. I used cream of broccoli soup,added hamburger and green beans, layerd, baked and had a complete meal. Served with bread.

This was a tasty recipe. Someone below mentioned cutting the butter out of the recipe, so I assumed it was actually in the potatoes. Looking at the recipe again, I realized that the butter is for the cracker topping - not to go in the casserole. I may have been the only dummy that thought this, but thought I would pass on the info. Also, I tried to make this a little healthier with fat-free cream of celery soup, lite sour cream, and 2% cheese. It tasted just like all the other hashbrown casseroles I have had, so why not save yourself a few calories?

I make this every year for Easter, however last year I didn't have potato chips or the "buttery" crackers for the top. Since I make mine with SHARP cheddar cheese. I used up the "cheesy square crackers" crushed and I will do it from now on. Oh and I use one can of soup.

I had half a bag of hash browns doing nothing in the freezer, and thought I'd try this recipe just to use them up. Hash browns aren't my thing, and Husband isn't overly keen on them either, but we thought this wasn't bad at all. I used a little more cheese, and also added some garlic powder. Pretty decent. Thanks, Diane!

tastes good although it was a little runny. i would probably cut down on one of the soups.

I'm not much on potatoes but I thought this was great! I made 50 servings for my son's football team and they loved it too.

For several years, I've been taking THIS version of the popular recipe to every event. Everyone always raves about these and says they're the best they've ever had. They're creamier and more flavorful because of the additional can of soup. Don't be afraid of the hot sauce - it doesn't make the potatoes spicy, it just punches up the flavor. If you are hesitant, just use less. There are a lot of hash brown casserole recipes out there, but THIS is the one to use!!!

I did not care for this recipe as much as others on here. I miss my regular recipe which calls for melted butter and more shredded cheese. Thanks.

I did everything like I was supposed to, except I added a diced ham slice to it. It seemed to be lacking something or maybe just too mushy...not sure which. Sorry Diane, I won't be making this again.

Turned out great! I used cream of chicken soup instead of the celery, and it worked great. I also added a couple minced garlic cloves just for a little bite. Loved it! Very tasty.

I just made this as an accompaniment to a ham dinner and everyone raved! Delicious and easy, but not low fat. I used diced hash brown potatoes and substituted cream of chicken soup for cream of celery. This is delicious and tastes you like you slaved away in the kitchen!

This was a great starter recipe. I’m no morning person, so night before or not I don’t fuss with breakfast stuff much. But hash browns are, after all, just potatoes and I think a grand foundation for a supper casserole as well. I used 1 can cream of celery and 1 can cream of mushroom. I had a little cheddar, but I also threw in some Mexican blend cheese and a good dose of Velveeta cubed. I also made this to use up leftover ham, about 2 cups cubed. I tossed in about 1 ½ cups of frozen green peas for more color and a supper green veggie. I used 2 Tbsp. Franks hot sauce ‘cause I love the stuff, mainly because it’s hot but not too firey hot. Because it was supper I skipped the cracker topping and used the ultimate (but pricey) king of all casserole toppings, French fried onion rings. Generously dot with butter and it’s divine. Not low cal but delish.

I enjoy this one every year. It's a little on the creamy side, I could probably cut down on the sour cream or cream soups, however the flavor is wonderful. My family enjoys this one along with scrambled eggs and bacon on Christmas morning. Easy to make ahead and just put in the oven when you're ready to bake.

I put a little bit too much butter in this one and the result was a bit greasy. Flavor was good though. I didn't have enough sour cream so I halved with some cream cheese.
