  1. In a large bowl mix together hash browns, bell pepper, chicken, cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk and cream of chicken soup. Adjust seasoning.

  4. Spread the crackers mixture over the top of the casserole and return to oven for another 10-15 minutes or until top is golden brown and dish is bubbly.

👍 Tips

  • Using bell pepper is not something authentic to this recipe, you can skip it if you do not like but it really makes the dish more flavorful.
  • You can use any leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken in this recipe.
  • Start with ¼ cup of milk and add more if you feel the mixture is too thick.

🧺 Storage

Place leftover casserole in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. You can freeze leftovers by wrapping tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.

⌛ Make Ahead

Assemble then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready to bake, take the dish out on the counter to come to room temperature then proceed with the recipe.

🍽️ Serve With

Hash brown chicken casserole can be served alone as it's a hearty dish or with a side salad, veggies, corn bread or rolls.

👩‍🍳 Variations

  • For a heartier dish you can load the casserole with many vegetables or a combination of them. Try celery, peas, corn, cut up broccoli..etc.
  • Use your preferred condensed cream of soup or make your own cream of chicken soup substitute.
  • Swap out buttery crackers for unsweetened Corn Flakes or crushed potato chips.

💬 FAQs

Do you thaw hash browns for casserole?

Yes, if your hash browns are frozen, you will want to thaw them out in the refrigerator overnight. Be sure to pat them dry with a paper towel if there is lots of moisture to avoid a soggy casserole.

What do you put on top of hash brown casserole?

Top your casserole with hot sauce, green onions, a dollop of sour cream or a handful of extra shredded cheese.
