Cheesy Chicken Hashbrown Casserole recipe:
Is dinner time crazy at your house? Whew! It can be hectic around here for sure! This is the perfect recipe for busy days of work and sports and activities. Just make it ahead and bake it when you get home. Dinner will be a breeze. It also freezes well.
I love having a few extra meals in the freezer for crazy weeks. Pizza Casserole Recipe and Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes also freeze really well. Menu Planning and having extra meals in the freezer have helped me to save money on groceries as much as 50%! That is a big savings.
Save time and money!
Save yourself from the chaos and make this casserole everyone is sure to love. This recipe is perfect in a 9×13 casserole dish. The ones with the lid are really handy if you are taking this dish somewhere. I use the disposable pans for the one I put in the freezer. It’s nice to just be able to toss the dish. Plus, they don’t have to worry about trying to get it back to you.
I also like freezing individual servings so my husband and I can have a quick lunch! It is so good the next day. So much better than the drive-thru.

It is comfort food at its best! There is just something about this casserole that is so delicious. Curl up after a long day with a plate of this tasty cheesey chicken potato casserole. It is just so cheesy and delicious. It just makes you feel better!
Another one of our favorite comfort food recipes is Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup. I made this one night for dinner and took a container to a friend that had been feeling under the weather. You just never know what someone might be going through. Being organized and having a menu plan has allowed me to not only to get dinner on the table for my family but to bless others.
Variation Ideas:
This recipe truly is just so easy! You can even use rotisserie chicken to make this recipe even quicker! I like to buy a rotisserie chicken and have it for dinner one night with Grilled Green Beans and Foil Pack Grilled Potatoes!
My family loves the cornflakes topping but you can substitute crushed Ritz crackers instead. It is just as good! Just use what you have on hand! I have even mixed both because I didn’t have enough for the recipe. You can also top this casserole with bacon, jalapeño’s, the options are endless! Sometimes we even add in some chopped onions.
Casserole’s are my favorite!
We love making Casserole’s in my family! They are so easy and I love the fact that everything is in one pan! I usually add a side and dinner is complete!

Mimi says
Do you defrost the hash browns?
Olga Saennz says
Looking forward to make these recipes. I know my family would love them.
Becky says
Going to try this.
wanda hollanf says
Do you thaw the hash brown potatoes first? Answer ASAP.
THANKS
Lanetta Lowe says
I made this last night and it was delicious!!
BEETA says
I MAKE THIS POTATO CASSEROLE BUT NEVER ADDED THE CHICKEN. I ADD 4 TEASPOONS OF BLACK PEPPER THOUGH. IT IS DELICIOUS AND MY SONS FAVORITE IN THE WORLD.
Linda McKinney says
This was really good and is going to become one of my favorites. That being said, I had several substitutions. First, I’m not a big fan of sour cream and 2 cups of it sounded overwhelming so I substituted a partial can of cream of mushroom soup for the second cup of sour cream. Second, I added a teaspoon of Better than Bouillion. Third, I’m not supposed to eat salt so I substituted 1/4 cup of diced jalapeños to add flavor. Fourth, I don’t keep cornflakes in the house, so I substituted an equal amount of crushed potato chips in the butter. Word of advice, had to cover with foil about half way through because it was getting too brown.
Kamiko says
its in my oven now. nummers!
Carla says
This was so easy and my family devoured it
Kamiko says
i had this for dinner, and it was like crack, i just couldnt get enough of it!
Terri says
Should the hash browns be thawed out a little?
Carrie says
Either will work. I generally put in frozen.
Phyllis says
I don’t want to use corn flakes nor potato chips for topping. Any other suggestive substitutes?? I was wondering about bread crumbs for topping! Any thoughts??
Carrie says
Yes, I would think so, or you can just omit all together
Krystin says
You could use crushed ritz crackers and the butter that’s always good!
Susan says
This recipe was really good but I made a few changes. I was rushed & didn’t have time to cook a chicken. So on my way home i bought a Deli rotisserie chicken. I skinned, de-boned & shredded it. After I blended all of the ingredients, I added a little more pepper, salt, a small chopped onion, a Tbles of garlic powder & a Tbles of onion powder. I Blended it all really good. & poured it in my pan, greased with butter. I let it bake for 30 minutes then I added the topping and baked another 30 minutes. The casserole didn’t look done so I loosely put some foil on top & baked it another 10 min. It was perfect and so delicious
I served it with seasoned lima beans and corn bread. ?
Carrie says
No, I put in frozen
Linda says
I’ve made this several times. It’s really excellent I don’t thaw the hash browns. I really like it. Next time I’m going to add red pepper flakes, and cook some bacon, and use the bacon drippings to sauté celery and onions and, of course, add the bacon in the end. Also, I never have corn flakes so I use crushed potato chips on top and add a little Parmesan on top of the chips.Should be even better.
Lisa VanDenTop says
This is my family’s new favorite, I can’t count how many times I’ve made this already!
Lynne says
Someone asked if the hash browns should be thawed first. Definitely yes. If they are frozen, the other ingredients won’t mix in well. Ask me how I know this, LOL.
Sheila says
Anyone ever use cream of celery instead?? If so, did it still turn out okay? I really don’t like cream of chicken or cream of mushroom? Thanks in advance ?
Carrie says
Sheila – I haven’t used cream of celery before but I think that it would still taste good!
Barb Kelly says
Instead of the corn flakes I used crunchy onions in the package. so good!
Carrie says
Great idea – Thanks for sharing Barb!
Woody says
I use Spicy Doritos instead of Corn Flakes
Carrie says
Yum! Great Idea!
Licia says
I use Ritz crackers as the crunch factor so no butter in the topping….
Syvannah says
Can you premake and store in the fridge for a few hours before cooking?
Carrie says
Yes, definitely!
Ajla says
Y’all.. how many bags of the hasbrowns are you supposed to use? I definitely just used one. It’s in the oven now. I’m scared that I was supposed to use two. The recipe says 1 20 oz bags of hash browns. Help.
Carrie says
I just used 1 bag of hash browns. Thank you.
Tammy says
Do you freeze it uncooked or after it’s cooked and if you plant freeze one do you double the recipe or just split it in half and freeze half?
TAMMY says
If you are going to freeze one do you freeze it before it’s cooked or afterwards? Also do you double the recipe to freeze one or just split it in half to freeze one?
Shirley Jennings says
could U use saltine crackers for the top
Steven Lofgren says
Very good. The corn flake burn easily. The second time I cooked it, I put it in for 40 minutes then put the corn flakes on for 10 minutes. Even 10 minutes was too much time. Next time I will only go 5 minutes. Maybe add green chilies too.
Suzanne says
I am making several meals for a friend. (Cancer) I want to make the hash brown casserole. Can this be frozen for later use?
Carrie says
Yes, this casserole freezes great. Thank you.
Carrie says
Yes, I think that would work great. Thank you.
Nalize says
Please help if you dont get hashbrowns what can you then use for this recipe? Please want to make it but dont want to make it if i dont have a proper guideline please
Katrina says
Made this tonight. Only thing I did different was use crushed up bacon cheddar it’s as the topping, and I highly recommend. This dinner is fantastic!
Carrie says
That sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing Katrina!
KK says
How would you cook from frozen? Longer than an hour I would imagine. Or do you thaw first, then cook like regular?
Phyllis says
Can I freeze the leftovers as there is just the two of us? It looks delicious! Thank you
Carrie says
Tammy – Generally, when I make this casserole, I make 2, 1 for dinner and 1 to freeze for a future dinner. I have a large family so we can generally eat the entire casserole for 1 meal. Thank you.
Carrie says
I freeze it before it’s cooked and I make 2 casseroles. I cook 1 for dinner and freeze the other. Thank you.
Carrie says
Nalize – You can make this recipe with shredded or sliced potatoes if you don’t have access to frozen hashbrowns. Thank you.
Carrie says
When I freeze this recipe, I let the casserole defrost in the refrigerator overnight before cooking it to make sure that it defrosts. Thank you.
Carrie says
Phyllis – Yes, you can freeze the leftovers and heat them up in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy them again. Thank you.
Cheri says
Could you cook this in crockpot? If so, how long?
Penny says
I think it’s so funny how people see a recipe and then change everything about it. I made this just like it said and we loved it! Will def make again!
Kathy says
Would a large can of chicken work? This sounds so good!
Teresa says
Crunched up potato chips will work on the top as well. No butter needed.
Diane says
Excellent Recipe!! Really cheesy and good – will make it often!! Thanks for sharing!!
Carrie says
Thank you!
Ginger Mills says
This is great! 1st time I made it I didn’t have frozen hashbrowns so used 1 little milk carton type box of Costco’s dried hashbrowns, followed the directions of filling the box with hot water for 12 minutes, then added them instead of frozen. Next week having company and making it for the 4th time the same way. Used mixture of crushed Ritz crackers and crispy onion topping. YUM!
Carrie says
I’m so glad that you enjoyed and that your substitution worked great! Thanks for sharing!
Lisa says
I’ve made this recipe several times. It’s so good and easy!
Katie Baker says
This was GREAT. I’ve shared this with multiple family members. Thank you for this great dinner.
Lisa says
I have made this recipe several times. It’s easy and delicious! I even get requests for it.
Laura J Redden says
I have made this recipe multiple times with corn flakes or gluten free bread crumbs and it is a huge family favorite. I have to double the recipe to make sure we have left overs since my family cant get enough of it.
Carrie says
This is great to hear – Thanks for sharing!
Kathryn Canty says
This is a casserole I get a craving for, because it is so good!! Great flavor, and every time I’ve made this, it always hits the spot!
Amanda Wagner says
What a delicious dish. My family loved it. I used the garlic butter ritz crackers on the top and I didn’t have milk so I omitted it.
Carrie says
I’m so glad you enjoyed it – Thank you for sharing!
Ron Savage says
You can use frozen Ore-Ida Potatoes O’Brien instead of the hash browns!!! So delicious!!! ?
Carrie says
Yes, those would work great in this recipe as well.
Alexis says
Awesome Dinner!! Only 2 of us so now we have extra yummy dinners in the freezer!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Carrie says
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing!
Kim T. says
I didn’t have cream of chicken so I used cream of mushroom and added a small amount of Chicken Better Than Bouillon for the chicken flavor. Next time I will not add salt or not use the bouillon as it was a little salty with the soup and bouillon. I added a package of frozen mixed veggies and it made it a one dish meal, which is a plus for me. Everyone loved it! Great recipe!
Carrie says
Thank you Kim!
