Last year, I mentioned making my grandmother’s hash brown casserole at Christmas. Today, I am finally posting that recipe!
Hash Brown Casserole
As I stated in my My Grandma’s Broccoli Casserole Recipe, I make these two casseroles at Christmas every year. My aunt carries on the tradition by making them for Thanksgiving and other family gatherings at her home. I know there are several variations out there, but this is the one we like.
This recipe was passed down from my dad’s mom. She’s also the person responsible for the Grandma’s Rhubarb Pie Recipe on this site. Most of her recipes are in fact simple and affordable. She was great at stretching a dollar to feed a family. I can only hope someone else out there needs this recipe for a get together or as a side dish at dinner. I associate it most with holidays and get togethers, but it would be a good side dish for a larger family’s dinner.

Tips
Similar to my note on the broccoli casserole recipe, the measurements in this recipe can be a little off from what’s available in stores now. This recipe calls for a 32 oz package of potatoes. However, I often grab a 30 oz package at Kroger or even a 26 oz package at Walmart (NOT an ad). Additionally, the old recipe called for a 10.75 oz can of soup, but soup comes in 10.5 oz now. So, just know that it’s virtually impossible to mess this recipe up even if you can’t find the exact amount it calls for. I mean who’s had too many potatoes or too much cheese in a casserole?
Also, my family uses 2.5 quart rectangular glass dishes to bake casseroles, but you could probably use a bigger size or a different shape with success.
Please let me know if you make this hash brown casserole in the comments and what your family thought of it!
