Monterey Jack would work well. For a spicy variant of Monterey Jack go with pepper jack cheese. Colby (or Colby Jack) cheese would also be a great substitute. You can\u2019t go wrong with part-skim mozzarella cheese, either.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap the cream of chicken soup:<\/strong> You can use just about any condensed, creamy soup in this recipe, like cream of mushroom, cream of bacon or cheddar cheese condensed soup.

Using a roux would be an easy way to make this recipe vegetarian if you or anyone you\u2019re serving prefers to avoid meat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shake in seasonings:<\/strong> Want to add more flavor the easy way? Grab a packet of ranch seasoning and sprinkle a few teaspoons into the hash brown mixture before it goes into the 13&#215;9-inch baking pan.

If you like a little heat, sprinkle paprika or cayenne into the hash brown mixture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add crumbled bacon:<\/strong> Cook a batch of crispy bacon, crumble up the pieces and fold them into the hash brown mixture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Copycat Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole<\/h2>\n<p>Once the cheesy hash brown casserole has been baked and cooled to room temperature, store the leftover casserole in an airtight container. It can be stored for up to four days in the refrigerator or for up to three months in the freezer.<\/p>\n<p>To reheat, defrost the casserole in the refrigerator overnight, then bake it at 350\u00b0 until it&#8217;s bubbly and warmed through, about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make copycat Cracker Barrel hash brown casserole ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! Prepare the Cracker Barrel hash brown casserole up until the baking step then store it, covered with foil, in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours before your event. Prior to baking, uncover the casserole and bake it as directed.<\/p>\n<h2>Copycat Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2050809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Copycat-Cracker-Barrel-Hashbrown-Casserole-TOH24_277560_LaurenHabermehl_08.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Copycat Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole served in a plate with bacons\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">LAUREN HABERMEHL FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use frozen diced potatoes instead of shredded? What if I want to use fresh potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>Of course! Cracker Barrel uses shredded potatoes in their recipe, but if you prefer the texture of diced potatoes, you can replace the shredded frozen hash browns with a thawed 32-ounce bag of diced hash brown potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>If your preference is to use fresh potatoes, there are a few extra steps you\u2019ll need to take to achieve great results. First, wash and peel six to eight russet potatoes, or enough to make about 8 cups of shredded potatoes. Shred the potatoes using a box grater, or dice them finely. Rinse the cut or shredded potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then soak them in a bowl of cold water for one to two hours. Finally, drain and squeeze out as much water as possible from the potatoes. You\u2019re now ready to use them in this hash brown casserole recipe!<\/p>\n<h3>Can I add a crunchy topping to Cracker Barrel hash brown casserole?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can absolutely add a crunch topping! While Cracker Barrel simply tops their taters with extra cheese, you can jazz up yours at home with a panko or cornflake topping like you typically see on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/funeral-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/funeral-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">funeral potatoes<\/a>. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted<\/li>\n<li>1-1\/2 cup crushed cornflakes cereal or panko bread crumbs<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon chives, optional<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs and garlic powder. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the hash brown casserole before baking it in the oven as directed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to replicate the best-ever copycat Cracker Barrel hash brown casserole.
