Lanetta Lowesays
I made this last night and it was delicious!!
BEETAsays
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 McKinneysays
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.
Kamikosays
its in my oven now. nummers!
Carlasays
This was so easy and my family devoured it
Kamikosays
i had this for dinner, and it was like crack, i just couldnt get enough of it!
Terrisays
Should the hash browns be thawed out a little?
Carriesays
Either will work. I generally put in frozen.
Phyllissays
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??
Carriesays
Yes, I would think so, or you can just omit all together
Krystinsays
You could use crushed ritz crackers and the butter that’s always good!
Susansays
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. ?
Carriesays
No, I put in frozen
Lindasays
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.
This is my family’s new favorite, I can’t count how many times I’ve made this already!
Lynnesays
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.
Sheilasays
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 ?
Carriesays
Sheila – I haven’t used cream of celery before but I think that it would still taste good!
Barb Kellysays
Instead of the corn flakes I used crunchy onions in the package. so good!
I use Ritz crackers as the crunch factor so no butter in the topping….
Syvannahsays
Can you premake and store in the fridge for a few hours before cooking?
Carriesays
Yes, definitely!
Ajlasays
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.
Carriesays
I just used 1 bag of hash browns. Thank you.
Tammysays
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?
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 Jenningssays
could U use saltine crackers for the top
Steven Lofgrensays
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.
Suzannesays
I am making several meals for a friend. (Cancer) I want to make the hash brown casserole. Can this be frozen for later use?
Carriesays
Yes, this casserole freezes great. Thank you.
Carriesays
Yes, I think that would work great. Thank you.
Nalizesays
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
Katrinasays
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!
Carriesays
That sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing Katrina!
KKsays
How would you cook from frozen? Longer than an hour I would imagine. Or do you thaw first, then cook like regular?
Can I freeze the leftovers as there is just the two of us? It looks delicious! Thank you
Carriesays
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.
Carriesays
I freeze it before it’s cooked and I make 2 casseroles. I cook 1 for dinner and freeze the other. Thank you.
Carriesays
Nalize – You can make this recipe with shredded or sliced potatoes if you don’t have access to frozen hashbrowns. Thank you.
Carriesays
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.
Carriesays
Phyllis – Yes, you can freeze the leftovers and heat them up in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy them again. Thank you.
Cherisays
Could you cook this in crockpot? If so, how long?
Pennysays
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!
Kathysays
Would a large can of chicken work? This sounds so good!
Teresasays
Crunched up potato chips will work on the top as well. No butter needed.

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!
