Hash Brown Casserole image

Super comforting dish with crisp and cheesy top. The Greek yogurt and milk keep it light, yet luscious. The sharpness of the cheese allows you to use a little for a lot of flavor. The cremini mushrooms provide a savory element to make it heartier. And the little touch of butter adds a just-right richness.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for coating baking dish
12 ounces 2-percent Greek yogurt
1 cup lowfat (1-percent) milk
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 pounds frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar (4 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, chopped
1 pound sliced cremini (baby bella) mushrooms
3 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

HASH BROWN CASSEROLE



Hash Brown Casserole image

This cheesy hash brown casserole is pure comfort! From-scratch recipe without soup and without sour cream, topped with crispy corn flakes.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 18

30 to 32 oz frozen shredded hash browns defrosted
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups 1% or 2% milk (use whole milk for a richer sauce; do not use skim)
2 cups low sodium chicken broth (divided (must be low sodium, or the casserole will be too salty))
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt* (about 7 ounces)
2 cups crushed cornflakes (see blog post above for other options)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
  • Spread the defrosted hash browns onto paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Pat as dry as possible.
  • In a Dutch oven or very large, deep skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, sprinkle the flour over the top. Whisk and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is golden brown and smells nutty, about 90 seconds (don't shortcut this step, or you may have a raw flour taste).
  • Reduce the heat to low. Slowly add the milk and approximately half of the chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Whisk cornstarch into the remaining broth until smooth. Add to the skillet and whisk to combine.
  • Whisk in the Worcestershire, poultry seasoning, salt, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
  • Bring sauce to a simmer over medium high heat, whisking constantly. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce is thickened, about 7 to 8 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed so that you maintain a constant bubble but not an aggressive boil.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Whisk in 1 cup of the cheddar and Parmesan until smoothly combined. Whisk in Greek yogurt.
  • Add the dried hash browns and stir until evenly combined.
  • Transfer hash brown mixture to prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer. Evenly top with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar.
  • Prepare the topping: Place the cornflakes in a small bowl and pour the melted butter over the top. With a spatula, stir until the corn flakes are evenly coated. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
  • Cover the casserole with foil. Bake for 40 minutes, then uncover. Return to the oven and continue baking until the casserole is hot and bubbly, about 12 minutes more.
  • Switch the oven to broil (keep the pan on the center rack). Broil until the topping is golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, watching the carefully the entire time to make sure it does not burn. Remove from the oven and let rest at least 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Choose your potatoes carefully: Use russet potatoes for a classic hash brown casserole, or try Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture and milder flavor. - Shred your potatoes evenly: Use a food processor or a box grater to shred your potatoes into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly. - Season your potatoes well: Don't be afraid to season your potatoes liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. - Don't overcook your potatoes: Hash brown casserole is best when the potatoes are still slightly firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and bland. - Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses will give your hash brown casserole a more complex flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices. - Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless variations on hash brown casserole. Feel free to add your favorite ingredients, such as bacon, sausage, vegetables, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Hash brown casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and comforting meal, give hash brown casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
