Sometimes ya just need something easy, dontchya? Easy comfort food.
Did you noticed that there are certain things that you order at your favorite restaurants, each and every time you visit without fail.
Cracker Barrel is one of my favorite restaurants to stop at when i have to go for dinner or lunch or breakfast… 🙂 There’s something so comforting about their Southern style food, and one of these “things” for me is Cracker Barrel’s Hashbrown Casserole – creamy, rich, easy and cheesy.

Now, I’ve tried many many many versions of Cracker Barrel’s hashbrown casserole BUT none of them ever quite made the cut. There was always something different….too much sour cream, not enough cheese, low flavor, soggy potatoes, etc. And I must say that this recipe is probably as close as I’ll ever come to the original Cracker Barrel hashbrown casserole recipe.

Leftovers ?
In fact, I’ve consistently started doubling this recipe for my family hoping for leftovers, but, the more I make, the more is eaten. If I want any the next day (because they are just as good heated up), I have to hide them. Of course, a few minutes later, mine story ends as the casserole dish was empty. Hopefully, I managed to take a couple of shots to show you.

Hey, your pictures are great and make me want to cook again. Thanks for the ispiration.
This looks so yummy! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Same recipe I use but saute 2 cups of cornflakes (crushed) in butter and add to top.
Looks Yummy—I’ve bookmarked this one to try very soon!!!
Instead of cream of chicken soup, try it with cream of onion (or cream of celery) soup for an extra punch of onion flavor. You can’t really taste the chicken, but you can taste the onion. So good.
I have a daughter who is a vegetarian , so i used cream of potato soup instead of cream of chicken and before adding it to the recipe i mashed the potatoes first. It was just as good
I made this for Easter this year and it was a huge hit! Great recipe and super easy. I added a smidge extra onion. Excellent recipe.
Sounds delcious. great recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this recipe! Do you bake this covered or uncovered? Thank you!
Whenever I make something in the 9X13 dish, there are always leftovers. When I make this…….wiped out clean! Thanks for this recipe and all the other great dishes you’ve help me prepare for this group of knuckleheads….
