This crockpot Cracker Barrel hash brown casserole is a fun twist on the traditional copycat recipe. This recipe is so easy to make in your crockpot or slow cooker!

Crockpot Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole

My family and I really love the food at Cracker Barrel but we can’t always swing going out to eat with our budget. I’m a huge fan of making copycat recipes at home.

Crockpot Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole

This crockpot version of copycat Cracker Barrel hash brown casserole is great for potlucks, parties, brunches, and more! It is also a kid approved and family friendly recipe.

Why use the crockpot for this recipe?

To free up some oven space for the holidays, set it and forget, or make it for a potluck are all great reasons to make this casserole in your crockpot or slow cooker.

Or maybe you’re like me and your oven went out and you’re waiting for your new oven to get installed! I’m working on crockpot and instant pot recipes until it gets in.

Ingredients needed

ingredients needed to make Crockpot Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole

For this casserole, you will need:

  • Frozen hash browns: The base of the casserole. You’ll need about 32 ounces of hash browns.
  • Butter: I used unsalted so I could control how salty the casserole is. If you are using salted butter you may want to leave out salt or use it sparingly.
  • Canned cream of chicken soup: You’ll need one can (about 10 ½ ounces).
  • Sour cream: I recommend using full fat sour cream for the best results.
  • White onion: You’ll need one small white onion, finely chopped.
  • Shredded Colby Jack cheese and mild cheddar cheese: To make the casserole cheesy and delicious.
  • Salt and pepper: I recommend doing salt and pepper to taste.

How to make

Melt your butter and set it aside to cool. Spray your crockpot or slow cooker with non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken, and butter. Gently fold in the mixture with the hash browns. Stir in the cheese (I like to set aside a few tablespoons of cheese to put on top).

Transfer to your slow cooker. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add cheese on top, if desired. Cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 4 hours.

How to store leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge. Leftovers will be good for up to four days after making.

    Love this recipe. I have diced hash browns, would that work or would you suggest staying with shredded hash browns?

    Can you double this recipe?

      I wouldn’t recommend it because this uses a large crockpot already. I think if you doubled it, it would not fit in your crockpot.
