Cracker Barrel’s Hash Brown Casserole

Instructions

– Preheat oven to 350 degrees

.

Ensure that your hash browns have thawed. (Otherwise they take a very long time to bake.) You can defrost them in the microwave to speed up this process.

– Pat them dry of excess water.

Set ½ cup of cheddar cheese aside.

– Combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl.

Place it in a greased 9×13 casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.

– Bake for 35 minutes, uncovered.

Increase heat to 375 and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the top begins to crisp and brown slightly.

– Remove from the oven, let it sit for 10 minutes, and serve!
