The flavor was great and because it was in a crock pot jit stayed warm. Super simple to make and well loved greg
Everyone loved this dish. It’s easy to make and serves a crowd. I used just 1 cup of sour cream and added 1/4 cup of butter. I also used 1 Tbls of onion flakes instead of the chopped onion. Cooked on low for 5 hours. It turned out great!
I made this for a brunch, and it was a hit! I used sharp cheddar cheese. I also added 1,5 cups diced, cooked ham, and I can of cheese soup, undiluted.
I make it every year to go with the Christmas ham. Have doubled it to feed a mob. I always use a crock pot liner.
I was looking for something simple with just a few ingredients for breakfast and I found this recipe. It’s so easy to put together and it’s absolutely delicious. I’m making it a second time today and I added bacon bits for a more hearty flavor. I set my timer for 1.5 hours and gave it a good stir, then again after an hour. I would be hesitant to leave this overnight, even a the low setting, because there is no sure way to determine when it’s done except by the melted cheese. It won’t be crunchy because it’s in the slow cooker. It’s delicious!
I needed something I could cook over night and take to work very early in the morning. I doubled the recipe and slow cooked on low overnight for 8 hours. I made a cornflake topping (3 cups crushed cornflakes and 1/4 cup butter, combined and toasted in oven till cruncy) and once at work and before we all dug in, I sprinkled the cornflakes over the top. At work I plugged the crockpot in and set to warm. It was a huge success and was already requested for our next brunch!
I’ve made this a couple of times for potlucks, and it’s a huge hit. I use Cream of Onion soup since I thought it was a bit bland with just the mushroom. Since I wanted to cook overnight, I don’t thaw the frozen potatoes and set on low for 8 hours with no issues. I do prefer to make it with the Simply Potatoes refrigerated hash browns as they seem to hold their texture a bit better. (The frozen final product is a bit mushier than if I use the Simply Potatoes brand.) I just used shredded, bagged cheddar cheese and it comes together fine–I wasn’t exactly sure what processed cheese meant either.
will make again Good
I wanted it to be a complete meal so I browned a lb of ground chuck in a skillet and added an envelope of Hot Taco seasoning to it. I added this to the potato mix before putting it in the slow cooker. I also added minced garlic to the recipe. Same cooking time and it was DELICIOUS!! My son LOVED it too and we ate it till it was all gone. Thanks so much for this great recipe.
Big hit with the family. I used cream of chicken instead. Real easy recipe to follow. Thanx!!
The ingredients looked great but the dish was unappetizing possibly because I added a cup of sliced mushrooms. My wife wouldn’t eat it, so with the remainder I added an egg, sliced green onions and Worcester sauce to give it more flavor and formed patties for frying. This was a lot better but I won’t make it again
A crowd pleaser!
Yes would add ham next time
Super easy and why fuss on a hot summer night? I mixed it all together the night before – without onions because I was in a hurry. Also cut sour cream in half to help prevent the ‘soupy’ factor, which worked – it wasn’t watery at all. Turned on the crock pot time the next morning for 4 hours on low and it switched to warm for the rest of the day. There was some over-cooked on edges, but not much – and my 20-year-old son ate about HALF of it before I got home. Definitely will double recipe next time. Nothing fancy here, but very appreciated by my house of hungry men.
Amazing! Wasn’t sure if they were going to be soupy, but worked out wonderful. I used garlic salt in place of salt and only used 1cup of sour cream, and about 1/4 cup of milk just for consistency. Will definitely make again. Thx for the receipe

I use O’BRIEN potatoes, and cream of celery or cream of chicken soup! No extra onions, already in the potatoes! So good
Ok, so the whole point of this is the slow cooker idea, but I prefer to bake it in a casserole dish and top it with crushed cornflakes because I like a little crunch. Also, for the hash browns I used the obrien potatoes to add a little zip with peppers and onions. Overall, this is a really easy recipe that everyone loves. It just isn’t a holiday in my house without these!
Love this recipe. I use cream of chicken soup and one can of cheddar cheese soup. I also add one cube of melted butter. I use grated Mexican cheese. I bake it in the oven.
I am amazed at the people who think “main dish” has to include meat!
I have had this recipe for years. I have baked it, microwaved it and slow cooked it. Slow cooking is my favorite way to cook it. We always use cream of chicken soup though (not everyone likes mushrooms; even tiny bits). We use medium or sharp cheddar cheese. Sometimes I add ham or bacon to it. It is always a favorite at our get togethers.
