If a hash brown casserole is on the the table, my plate is going to get a huge scoop of it! There are various ways to make hash brown casseroles. I have been making this Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole for years, and we never get tired of it. We eat this casserole throughout the year, but it always makes an appearance on our Thanksgiving table. If you need an easy side dish to add to your Thanksgiving menu, this Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole will definitely be a people pleaser!
I particularly like using the refrigerated hash browns instead of the frozen hash brown in this recipe. The texture of the refrigerated hash browns is more pronounced than frozen. However, if you are in a pinch you could certainly use frozen hash browns.
The original recipe calls for diced onions, but I take the shortcut of using dried minced onions. This little shortcut does not sacrifice on flavor or texture. If you would rather dice fresh onions, just be sure to cut your onion into small pieces.
