Ingredients
1 cup onion, finely diced
8 ounces cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
8 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
26 ounces shredded hash browns, thawed
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
4 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth and well blended.
Stir the melted butter into the soup mixture until fully incorporated.
Add the diced onion, salt, and black pepper to the cream mixture and mix well.
Fold in the thawed hash browns, mozzarella cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese (1/2 cup), stirring until the potatoes are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
Stir in the chopped cooked bacon.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it into an even layer.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Comments
This casserole hits the weeknight sweet spot: every ingredient is stocked at any Charlotte grocery chain, most at ALDI prices, and the stated 45 minutes is honest for a crowd-pleasing 10-serving dish. The cost per serving lands around $1.20 to $1.40 depending on bacon and cheese quality, driven mainly by the frozen hash browns and two cheeses rather than any extravagance. It reheats well and requires minimal attention once assembled, making it solid for family dinners or potlucks, though it is not a standout flavor profile and demands oven space that can conflict with other main dishes.
