Hash Brown Casserole II Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 3)

Have made this for years, only without the extra butter in the potatoes. It isn't needed. A great recipe-a family favorite. Campbell's, Healthy Request soup and low-fat sour cream reduce the sodium and calories a little (You shouldn't skimp on cheese-we like extra sharp cheddar) I'll have to try the French Fried Onion topping as some have suggested. It really sounds good. I put all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir away with a wooden spoon. Periodic "stabbing" with the spoon helps break up the frozen chunks. Stick it in the refrigerator and bake the next day. It will take longer to bake if the potatoes are still frozen. I use a 9" X 13" Pyrex dish that has a rubber lid. Just put the dish in the oven (without the lid, of course) as it preheats so you don't wind up breaking the glass by placing a cold dish in a hot oven.

This was a big hit and plates were licked clean. I made slight changes. Cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken, light sour cream, used half the amount of cheese, and reduced the butter. Even after all that, it was still plenty rich enough. I threw in some ham to make a main dish instead of a side. And it needed a full hour to cook. At 40 minutes the potatoes were still somewhat crunchy. The crumble topping went on halfway through so it wouldn't burn. This would be superb on a lazy Sunday morning for breakfast with the addition of sausage or ham in it. It also opens itself up to tons of variations: pico de gallo with taco mix, w/ground beef & scallions, and you'd have a tex-mex casserole. Can't wait to experiment. So good.

It was good. The problem is that it's just SO high in fat. I'm not a super healthy diet-conscious eater at all (in fact, I tend to be the opposite). For this reason I decreased butter to 4 tbs (next time I'll try olive oil), used 1/2 c. reduced fat sour cream and 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, used 50% reduced fat cheese, and 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup. I also replaced the cornflakes with panko crumbs tossed with garlic powder and sprayed the top with cooking oil spray. I cooked the onion in the melted butter (since the pan was dirty now anyway) just for a minute or so to soften them up. I mixed it all together right in the casserole dish (not sure why you need to do it in a separate mixing bowl, just another dirty dish for no reason). My method cut the calories in half and decreased the fat to 26 grams, per serving. It's the first time I've ever used yogurt in place of sour cream. Next time I'll probably replace the whole amount of sour cream. This was a test for us and my family just loved it (especially my son who has an allergy to anything healthy, lol!). They want me to keep the recipe the way I made it. Finally, I'd use a 2" deep rectangular baking dish instead. I used an oval deep dish and it took quite a bit longer to bake.

Excellent, a great favorite for a group. I add potato chips to the top instead of corn flakes.

Make as is, except I add in a can of cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken. Next time: Less onion, cook longer..closer to an hour topping of crushed ritz crackers. Be sure to add full amount of butter. Less shredded cheese.

Delish!! The only changes I made were to add a little splash of milk, and I didn't sautee the cornflakes. It was wonderful and I will make again and again. In the future, I will half the recipe to use as a side dish for our family of 4, it does make quite a bit.

A recipes VERY similar to this has been in my family for YEARS. It was a major favorite of mine as a kid, to the point that the recipe card at my mom's house reads "Jennifer's Favorite Potatoes." :) Over the years I have done some tweaking and have a few tips for what I consider perfection. First, it is important that the hash browns are thawed as much as possible. (It's a great make ahead dish if they aren't thawed though. You can make it up and set in the fridge until ready to bake.) If you use shredded hash browns it's more important that they are thawed and I have found they even need a bit longer to bake. I mix the potatoes with 4 tsp dried onion (but fresh is fine too) and 2 cups shredded cheddar. I then melt 1 stick butter/margarine in the microwave. I mix in the chicken soup... it's a must to NOT use reduced-fat version... and one cup sour cream (you CAN get by with reduced fat here). I then add the soup mixture to the potatoes and mix well. Spread into a 9x13 dish. Sprinkle with corn flakes (some people like potato chips ?? ) and pour 1/2 stick melted butter over the top. Bake a FULL hour at 350. You will constantly get rave reviews!
