Crock Pot Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole

This Hash Brown Casserole pairs perfectly with ham (or sausage) and saves precious oven space by cooking it in your Crock Pot.  

This Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole is a holiday must-have dish in our home. I don't know about you, but for me all those yummy side dishes gracing the holiday table have to be my absolute favorite. I know the turkey is the star of the show, but it's side dishes all the way for me. I can't help myself it's the one time of the year that I can get all of my favorite sides at the same time.

I know this casserole isn't anything new, but I wanted to share this easy crock pot version with y'all. During the holidays there are so many side dishes to be made that you eventually run out of room in oven.

Why not let your crock pot do some of the work. Just toss all the ingredients inside and let it do it's magic for 4-5 hours. When it's done you will have a creamy dreamy hash brown casserole that everyone will love. This is my daughters absolute favorite dinner.

This casserole pairs perfectly with just about any kind of meat. As you can see by the photo above we had sausage on that particular night, but it's also great served with ham, turkey or pork. If you're worried about the calories you can substitute with light sour cream and a fat free soup to make this delicious casserole a bit lighter. Enjoy.
