Incredibly easy, delicious Hash Brown Casserole to feed a crowd: only 3 ingredients (green pepper, onions)

[missik999]

10 pounds frozen hash browns,
3 pounds Colby Cheese, shredded
1 #10 can Cream of Mushroom soup

With olive oil, grease bottom of four baking pans or glass casserole dishes.

Combine ingredients, and divide between baking dishes.

Bake at 350 (convection) for 45 min. Cut into squares and serve with spatula. I serve upside down, as bottom will be browned.

48 servings

To make a smaller batch you can easily cut the recipe in 1/2 or 1/4.


This is soooooo easy to make, and no one can ever believe it only has three ingredients! It is a real crowd favorite, and everyone is amazed when I give them the recipe.

Start to finish it takes only an hour. It's my favorite recipe to take to pitch-in dinners and get togethers.

The last time I made it was for a party, and I cut the recipe in half for 24 generous servings.

This sounds great! It also has plenty of room to get creative.

What would happen this was done in an alum foil pan and put in a smoker at about 250*? I know it will take longer, but I'd have meat on there anyway. Will it cook the hash browns right?

Thanks

I'm sure it would work, just adjust your time. It's a great recipe, and you can add in whatever you like and it always comes out well.

The smoker method works great. I am making this again at a graduation open house today.

Thank you! One of my many computers that crashed left me recipe-less. Now I have the base for my winning recipe again, yay! I usually add whatever needs to be added but this base recipe is priceless. DH will be so happy; again, many thanks.

Wow, that sounds so great. Now, I am going to play with figures and cut it down to serve just a normal family, like maybe 6 or so servings. I bet it would work well with a few eggs ro serve as a breakfast cassarole as well.

I entered it in MasterCook, and it told me it would be this for 6 servings:
(you'll probably need to adjust the baking time)

1.25 pounds hash browns, frozen
12 fluid ounces cream of mushroom soup
3/8 pound colby cheese

This is great... You can easily add diced ham, green peppers and diced onion too. Maybe even sauté the onions and green pepper. You could even add ground pork sausage, brown it and viola! Nice base recipe!
