Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole Recipe

Making dinner every day can become tedious, you start running out of things to make, and you get tired of eating the same things over and over again. This a really simple meal to make that your family will love. On the nights that you are busy or just don’t feel like cooking something that involves a lot of work; try this wonderful cheesy casserole recipe. This cheesy hashbrown dish can be good when you are having a pot luck dinner or when friends and family are over visiting. 

You will need to gather a few materials before you start to make this simply easy dish. The things that you will need are a casserole dish, cutting board, a sharp knife, mixing bowl, spatula, and a microwave safe bowl. When you have gathered all the materials set them aside for use later.  Next, you will need to gather your ingredients.   It’s easier to gather everything first so everything is in easy reach when you are making the dish.

The ingredients you will need are:

1 bag of hashbrowns

1 onion

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

1 can of cream of celery soup

1 tablespoon of butter

½ lb. of Colby cheese (if you want to use a cheese that has more of a spice flavor, you can substitute the Colby cheese with Pepper Jack cheese)

The first thing that you need to do is preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Next spray your casserole dish with a butter spray or you can coat the bottom and sides of the casserole dish with butter. Once the casserole dish is greased set it aside to use later. Take your onion and cut it up into small chunks. Take your mixing bowl and mix together the mushroom soup and celery soup. Add in the onion and hashbrowns. Mix everything together so that the hashbrowns are evenly coated with the soup. Add in half of the cheese and mix well. Get your casserole dish and pour the hashbrown mixture into the dish. Spread the mixture out evenly over the casserole dish. Add the rest of the cheese to the top of the hashbrown mixture. Melt your butter in the microwave, when the butter is fully melted, pour over the top of the hashbrown mixture. When you have everything in the casserole dish, place it in the oven for about 45 minutes. Check on your casserole after the 45 minute period; the cheese should be melted and starting to get crispy on top. You might have to leave it in the oven another ten minutes just so the hashbrowns and cheese are nicely browned and crispy. Remove from the oven and let stand for about 15 minutes and then serve.

If you always seem to have a full schedule and can never find time to cook, then you can make up more than one serving at a time and freeze it.  By cooking this way, you can have this wonderful meal without all the work.
