Food is the most primitive form of comfort. — Sheilah Graham Westbrook.
Oh, dear, dear, dear! Where did you learn to make a copycat Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole? This recipe is a disaster! But fear not, I’ll guide you through transforming this disaster into a masterpiece. Let’s get started, shall we?
Copycat Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole
Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
- 2 (20-ounce) packages refrigerated shredded hashbrowns such as Resers
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2/3 cup condensed cream of chicken soup (half of a 10.5-ounce can)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 8 ounces shredded Colby cheese
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F: Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Combine the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the hashbrowns, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Gently stir with a silicone spatula to evenly incorporate the spices. Add the condensed cream of chicken soup, melted butter, chopped onion, and shredded Colby cheese. Fold the mixture until evenly distributed.
- Bake the casserole: Lightly spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish, being careful not to press down on the hashbrowns. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crisp.
Wine Pairing:
For a dish with such rich and cheesy flavors, I recommend pairing it with a crisp and refreshing white wine like a Chardonnay. Specifically, a Chardonnay from Rombauer Vineyards would complement the creamy texture and cheesy goodness of the casserole perfectly.
Now, let’s not make a hash of this casserole. Follow the recipe closely, and you might just impress someone with your cooking skills. Good luck!
