Hash brown casserole with cream of mushroom soup and hamburger

Having a busy weekday schedule means quick-fix dinners are a must. Busy moms and dads mean busy nights and having an easy meal is always a great idea.

If you have kids you know what I mean, but even if you don’t have kids there are plenty of nights when you don’t want to cook a full meal with sides.

Sure we could run out and grab fast food but it’s still cheaper and better for you to cook meals at home. That is the beauty of these easy casseroles.

Some of the easiest and cheapest dinners areone-dish meals and we are certainly a fan of them in our family.

I hope that this delicious recipe will become a new family favorite for you too.

Ingredients you will need for this easy recipe:

  • 2 lbs. ground chuck hamburger (you can use lean ground beef if you prefer)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese – we use mild cheddar (plus extra optional)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 package of hash browns (20 oz, thawed)
  • salt & black pepper to taste

The dish will be ready when your potatoes are golden brown.

Not a ground beef lover? No problem… The best thing about casseroles, in general, is that they pretty much all have a few basic ingredients.

You can even use this basic hash brown casserole with meat recipe and just change up the meat to your desired preference.

All casseroles contain…

  • the main ingredient
  • secondary ingredients
  • a starch
  • a binder
  • and a topping

The main ingredient is usually some type of protein like hamburger meat, chicken, or tuna.

There are lots of options for a secondary ingredient, you can just pick your favorite vegetable but here are a few extra ideas for ingredients you can add or adjust in this recipe.

  • red peppers
  • green beans
  • diced onions (or you could add in onion powder)
  • peas

The starch is simple enough to add, pick something like potatoes (tater tots), pasta, or rice and choose a binder such as cream of chicken plus a little extra milk, sour cream, or water so it’s not too dry.

The last is topping it with something delicious like cheese or crackers.

A simple formula to have quick and easy meals just the way you like.

A great way to create the best combination that works for your family.

Can I cook this Hashbrown Hamburger Casserole in the Slow Cooker?

Yes, you can! First, you will want to brown the ground beef mixture and drain.

Then mix all the ingredients, including the beef together, and cook in the crockpot on high for approximately 3 hours or on low for around 6.

Top with your leftover cheese at the last 5 minutes of cooking time.

Why is my hash brown casserole soggy?

Drain thawed frozen hash browns of any excess moisture otherwise it can make your casserole soggy. Don't use just shredded potatoes. You can make your own hash browns but you must soak the shredded potatoes and dry them very well (see instructions in post). Still, frozen hash browns are optimal because they are drier.

What is hash brown casserole made of?

Either way, I'm still calling them cheesy potatoes, or Hash Brown Casserole. This version uses diced hash brown potatoes. The potatoes are mixed with a cheesy sauce and topped with corn flakes and butter before baking. The finished casserole is creamy, cheesy, buttery, and crunchy.

What meat goes with hashbrown casserole?

There are a few meats that go well with hash brown casserole. These include bacon, ham, sausage, and ground beef. If you want a more hearty dish, you can add these meats to the casserole. If you are looking for a lighter option, you can serve the casserole with grilled chicken or fish.

Do you thaw hash browns for casserole?

As with any other ingredients, it's recommended to thaw hash browns before cooking. Cooking them frozen will cause the heat to spread unevenly and your hash browns might cook from the outside, while the inside remains frozen. Cooking them frozen might also result in them becoming too mushy and/or watery.
