Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole with Ham - Weeknight Easy

This cheesy Hashbrown Casserole is made with frozen hashbrowns, leftover ham, sour cream, combined with cheddar cheese and a few other pantry staples. This cheesy casserole will quickly become a family favorite. 
We had a wonderful casserole last night and I couldn't wait to share the recipe. I'm a big casserole lover, but my husband not so much. It's always hard to find a casserole that the whole family likes, but I finally found one.  I saw this Hashbrown Casserole recipe over at Eat at Home . The best thing about this recipe is that it can be baked in a casserole dish or in your crock pot. You can also serve this casserole plain or add some leftover ham like I did.  

How can you go wrong with potatoes, cheese and ham. The casserole baked up golden brown with a crispy topping. I couldn't wait to dig in and get every ones opinion. Well, I'm happy to report that everyone loved it!!!! My oldest son is already asking me to make it again. 




Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole W/Ham

Ingredients:
1 - (26 oz) bag frozen, shredded hash brown potatoes (thawed)
1 - 8 oz container sour cream
1 - 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
1/4 - cup butter, melted
1/4 - cup onion, chopped fine 
salt and pepper, to taste 
1 - 16 oz package cubed ham (I used Farmland or use leftover ham)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 

Instructions: 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

In a large bowl combine the thawed has browns with butter, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, onion, salt, pepper and ham. 

Stir all the ingredients together and add to a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish.   

This is optional but you can add a bit more cheese on top if you like. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 - 45 min or until casserole is bubbly and golden brown on top. 

Let cool and enjoy

Crock Pot Instructions: Coat the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray or butter. Spoon the hash brown mixture into the slow cooker. Cover, and cook on High for 1 1/2 hours, then reduce heat to Low, and cook for an additional 2 1/2 hours. 

servings: 8

That looks similar to one I have... It's good...:-) Anything with Potatoes & Cheese in the morning is great in the winter. But I use sausage in it. ( Paul doesn't care for the cubed ham.) So it's an easy recipe to change around & play with.

YUM! This is going on my menu sometime soon! Casseroles are great, one dish, all in one meal, love them!

This sort of reminds me of a breakfast casserole I make too. =)

This looks like a winner! I'll have to read what you have written about it at home because for some reason the computer at work is only showing the pictures (but it did let me see the printable version).

I so enjoy a warm casserole- especially when cheese is involved. This looks so tasty.

*I have the same plates as the one in the photo. Don't you love them?
Stacey said…
Just found your blog and I'm so glad I did. Your food looks fabulous! I need new ideas. :)
Great idea to add the ham right in the casserole! I'm glad you all liked it.
I had to go back and look at your plates after Sherri mentioned them. Those are pretty! I'd love to get new dishes. I got tired of taking pictures of food on my old ones and have bought a few single pieces just for photos, but I'd love to have a whole new set. I keep looking and dreaming :-)

That is so funny Tiffany. I have a few pieces just for photos as well, that exact plate being one of them. I need a new setting really bad maybe for Christmas.

I have to bookmark this!! Do you know how many times I come home from work and try to think of something easy to make? I wonder if this would be good with bacon too!??
Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmmmmmm!!!!
Your post reminded me that I had a package of Potatoes O'Brien in the freezer that I needed to use so I made the casserole without the ham and substituted the potatoes I had. The onion and peppers in the potatoes gave them a little extra flavor. Thanks for the reminder about this dish. It has been awhile since I made it and it was a welcome change with chicken.

Looks delicious! We call those "Funeral Potatoes" here in Utah. It seems like it gets served at every function. Very delicious too! Still loving your blog. Keep up the great work.
Sincerely,

LOVE this!! I fixed it for dinner on a sat. night and then had so much left we got up on sun. morning and had it for breakfast! It is a great all around casserole good for dinner and breakfast, Thanks!

This is a very popular dish in our area. To lower the fat a bit I just put in half the butter and use a splash of whipping cream (has less fat). I get lots of complements and everyone asks me to bring these as they like mine better! And they are a little healthier!
Stephanie said…
This was soooooooo good! I made it tonight, Only thing I would suggest is adding the cheese on top half way through or covering it with foil and remove the foil a few minutes before its done. If not the crust on top will be a little hard. Other than that it was reallllyy good. I made two small batches one with onions and one without for my hubby. We were both very happy! THANKS
Alex said…
I crushed up corn flakes and put them on the top and then poured the melted butter over the entire casserole ... Amazing

My family LOVED this recipe! I made it a few weeks ago with leftover ham and it was a hit (with picky eaters). Making it again this weekend--great warm winter dish!
Rachelle Fitch said…
Thanks for this awesome recipe, my whole family LOVED it. I can't wait to try out others!

I just found your site recently! Where have I been?

I made this recipe with 1 twist I used 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack and 1 cup shredded cheddar. It adds just the right amount of heat.

This is the best. Made two batches, one with onions for me and one without for my husband. Good either way. Best part is that you can have it for ANY MEAL! Breakfast lunch or dinner!

This casserole is delicious. We all loved it. I didn't add the cheese on top until about the last 10 minutes of baking. It turned out perfect. I love this website!!!

This was amazing! I made it last night and sub the ham for bacon... and as i am clumsy i had doubled the recipe and ended up spilling 1 can of cream of chicken... either way my family loved it and it went great with hawaiian rolls.. although i think next time adding veggies into it will make it more amazing. Thanks!
YAY! My 22 year old son requested this dish. I hadn't made it in years and couldn't find the recipe. Actually, I'm amazed he even remembered it. Anyways, this is exactly it! You are going to make a hungry lifeguard happy tonight. THANKS!!!

I decided, last minute to make this. My dad talked me out of purchasing the cubed ham in option to buying a packet of a thick slice of ham and cube it myself; cheaper! (that and unfortunately at my walmart the prepackaged cubed ham that you use is closer to 3.00)

Hoping to have a hit with my cheesaholic boyfriend tonight!

I used greek yogurt instead of sour cream and mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken and it was still delicious as ever!

I stumbled upon your website last fall - and I have been hooked since.... I am so tired of repeating the same menues week after week and I am always looking for new ideas online.... so far everyone of your that I have tried I have LOVED and this one is no exception. I made this last night - and it was a hit. I served with Brocolli on the side, but I am thinking of stirring in some chopped spiniach woght into the mix next time. Another keeper! Thanks! I am about to go warm up leftovers for lunch!

How many servings is this?

Can you freeze this?
Tina Butler said…
If you freeze it I would freeze it unbaked.

I have seen this in crock pot format as well baked but with corn flakes on top. My question: how do you incorporate the corn flakes if using a crock pot? Would they just get mushy? Thanks.

I have made this twice so far and my family loves it! One of my children and my husband can be quite picky when it comes to casseroles but wow - they gobble this up!

Hi would love to use this recipe, but would it taste as good without the cream of chicken soup?
