copy cat hashbrown casserole

[sgmwife1]

Ok, so I tried a copy cat recipe for Cracker Barrel hashbrown casserole and it was WAY to mushy.
I love this so much but I cant get it down. Anyone have any suggestions????

I'm also very interested in a recipe that works - it's DH's favorite and we're about to move back to the west coast where there's no such thing as Cracker Barrel!

Do you have a copy of the recipe you can post??
I know sometimes if you reduce any liquids it may have in it just a little that it can help, and sometimes even adjusting your cooking time and temp along with using certain pans Good luck!!

Here's a recipe that I found at a copycat website....


1 (2 lb) package frozen hash browns
16 ounces sour cream
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place potatoes in a greased 9x13 baking dish.
Season with salt and pepper.
Melt butter.
In a bowl stir together soup, butter, sour cream, and onion.
Pour soup mixture evenly over hashbrowns.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for about 45 minutes.

The only thing I can think of from looking at the recipe is maybe use a little less sour cream. Were the hashbrowns still frozen?? ANd did you cook it in a glass dish??

That sounds yummie though, I will have to try that

The one I use does not use any sour cream - it is just cream of chicken soup, melted butter, onion, salt, pepper and cheese -- and hash browns, of course, lol. It always turns out really nice as far as the texture goes. Oh, and I use colby vs cheddar.

maybe let the hashbrowns thaw in the fridge since when you heat them up the ice tends to make water ???
