Make Your Own: Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 เม.ย. 2013
- Learn how to make hashbrown casserole just like Cracker Barrel's!! This is the only recipe there is that uses the same ingredients Cracker Barrel does even though there are several copycat recipes online. First, Cracker Barrel uses colby cheese, not cheddar and second, they don't use sour cream in their hash brown casserole. Those recipes may be good in their own right, but they are not as close to the real deal as this is. These taste exactly like what you get served at the restaurant, especially when you let them sit for a bit like the restaurant does.
I got this recipe from a friend of mine who was a cook at Cracker Barrel for several years. They make it in big batches but this is cut down to go into a 9"x13" pan which will serve 6-8 people.
What you'll need:
2 lbs frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 (10.75oz) can Campbell's condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced or chopped fine
1/4 cup margarine, melted
2 cups (8 oz) colby cheese, shredded or diced fine in a food processor
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Combine everything except the hash browns in a large bowl. Add in the thawed hash brown potatoes and mix well. Put into a 9"x13" baking pan and bake in a preheated 350*F oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Enjoy!! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Thank you for getting STRAIGHT TO THE POINT and not rambling forever before getting to the recipe 🙌🏾
YES!! Some of these other videos are so exhausting with all the rambling!
Exactly. No giggling, rambling, or picking the cat up to say high to everyone.
Yes, or sharing their life story!
Or hideous annoying noisetrack...
Yeh… thanks for not rambling about how much Cracker Barrel means to you and your family and how you were inspired to post this video. Kept it straight forward to the point. Thats what the people needed. Thank you.
I work at CB and this is the EXACT recipe, cept we make it in a more...industrial scale to say the least lol on a Sunday morning (6-11) we sell the equivalent of about 150 of these pans, that's just in the morning lol.
Well, if you mean bacon or shellfish free then yes this particular recipe is, but there are several recipes that are not, Turnip Greens are cooked with some bacon fat for flavor, I guess as a stand in for ham-hocks. However there is nothing that is specifically labeled as Kosher if that is what you're asking.
Alex Rodriguez well cheese can be made with animal rennet which is pork. Butter can contain pork. Corn bread can contain pork. Would the employees be able to give me this information on these items or would I need to call corporate?
You'd have to call corporate for that level of information, sorry.
I knew there was a reason I never ate there
Megan Enriquez Nooooooo!
Making this today will keep you all posted on update....ok here is my update. AMAZING! I used salted Kerry Gold butter. Hubby told me NO extra salt needed just add cracked pepper if you are using salted butter. Also I use ONE POUND hash browns only and it was perfect. And for that extra crisp....BROIL at the end and PERFECTO!!!
Omg Yes butter, definitely kerrygold 👌🏽
who buys margarine anymore?
Thanks for the tips!!! Making this for thanksgiving this year!!!

@@kissthesky40 would guess CB uses it because it’s shelf-stable…
Made this this morning along side my “bird in a nest” egg and sour dough bread. And of course some thick cut bacon that I added fresh cracked black pepper to. I kept expecting someone to come top off my coffee! That’s how spot on this recipe is :)
They've got a niche filled and have quite a business! They've got good food, the inside is very homey (complete with fireplace) and they let truckers and RV'ers park overnight for free. They aren't the cheapest place to eat but it's good ole comfort food! As for the recipe, I always wondered why this never turned out until I asked a friend who worked there. I've only seen one other recipe like mine online which a former employee commented on saying it was the real deal. It's spot on to me.
I made this for Sunday breakfast today. I love it a bit more crunchy so I put it under the broiler and browned it a bit. I did serve it with sour cream. Oh yes, and plenty of bacon and toast with homemade freezer jam. We all ate too much!
Thanks for the recipe.
I made two pans last night, one for my house and one for my grand kids. My granddaughter had them today for breakfast, and with every bite she would yell Yummy! Thanks so much for this great recipe!
Oh my goodness!!!! I tried it and it tasted JUST LIKE THE ONE IN CRAKER BARREL!!! Great work! I don't know how you did it!!
Glad to hear!! I don't think they have a single bad thing on the menu at all. My personal favorites are this of course, the biscuits are to die for, their fried apples, fried okra, chicken and dumplings and the chocolate Coca Cola cake. It's the ultimate comfort food and if you ever get the chance, do make a stop there! You'd love all the antique stuff hanging from the ceiling and on the walls. And you'd probably know what each and every one was too, LOL!! You won't regret the stop!!
That was my problem too. Had to go to someone who worked there to get the secrets and it's as close as it's going to get. Put it side by side with the real one and most people wouldn't think there was a difference.
I made this for a family gathering at the lake last weekend. I am serious when I say that huge pan was gone before I knew it! It tastes EXACTLY like Cracker Barrel's recipe. I should know, I get it no matter if we eat there for dinner or breakfast! Thank you so much!!! This is a new family favorite!
Made it again for breakfast .. Snowy day in NY... Perfect comfort food for your family...
Comfort food at its finest for sure!! Thanks!
I made this today for my family . I followed your recipe. , but I used butter instead of margarine . We loved it . Your recipe was the one we loved most. Great job!
I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for your video. I’ve been looking everywhere for this recipe, and this video is the answer to my prayers! I could cry! THANK YOU!
I made this tonight, it taste exactly like CB hash-brown casserole. Thank you for sharing your friend's recipe, and figuring out the ingredient amounts. You can taste this is a genuine recipe. The Colby cheese is spot-on! 💥BRAVO💥👍🏻
Thank you!! This is really as simple as it gets.
When you microwave the shredded potatoes, it should evaporate most of the water off them and release it as steam which helps 'cook' the potatoes so they shouldn't be too watery after that. Just be sure to leave them uncovered which also helps evaporate the moisture. Hope that helps and let me know how you like it!
You guys out west don't know what you're missing!! LOL!! Good ole comfort food at its finest!
I know what we're missing. The heart attack on the plate from all that salt. Sodium is your hearts worse enemy.
Sharon Jean Jesus good lord!!! live a little. don't be all gloom and doom
@@sharonj3979 --- Good grief woman, this is not something you eat everyday! Grow a brain.
Sharon Jean you know the saying keep your friends close, and your enemies closer? That saying basically is telling you to eat this casserole.
@@sharonj3979 actually they're finding out more people die from not enough of sodium .
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Can I use cream of onion soup , instead of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup ?
Made this tonight EXACTLY as written. It was DEEEE-LISH-IOUS!!
Thanks for posting.
You're a wonderful teacher!
Looks like a good start for an egg and sausage breakfast casserole.
I agree!
Add it
I make this with buiscuit crust bottom and crumbled sausage on top- so good!!
thank you so much for posting this video. my younger sister and i moved back to california almost 2 years ago and have missed their food so much because there isnt one here and the closest one i found on their site is still 64 miles from the california border into arizona. i know this'll make her so happy again thank you!
I order this every time I go there no matter what time of day and no matter whatever else I'm ordering! LOL. I just have to have it! Now I'm looking forward to making it! Thank you so much!
In the 70's my mom made a potato casserole similar to this. It had the sour cream and was topped with crushed Corn Flakes and more cheese. We don't have Cracker Barrel where I live. Thanks for sharing the recipe:)
I make this every year now for Thanksgiving. Nobody wants mashed potatoes anymore just this hash brown casserole. Because I can leave it out for an hour before the food is done and on the table and it makes my life easier. Literally tastes just like Cracker Barrel hash brown casserole. Great recipe, thank you so much for posting it.
It's the most requested CB recipe there is and everyone loves it!
Why is this the only thing I want right now.
Same 😭😅
3 years later and I still only want this right now. Lol.
Had some hash brown casserole from a little hole in the wall place and it was like a serving of warm love.
I have been searching for this recipe for years! Will be heading to the grocery store as soon as they open to get the ingredients and this is on the menu for dinner. So stinkin excited.
I first saw this video years ago. I know this recipe by memory now but I still come back to this video cause you're my favorite Chef on TH-cam! Deeeeee-licious recipe!🤗
I have made this a dozen times! Everybody loves it. I’m making it again in the morning.❤️❤️
I love your videos. I like your voice and the way you talk. I find you're quite funny, and entertaining. Instead of turning on tv, nothing to watch these days, just commercials, i turn on your youtube channel to learn and to keep me company. Please post more old school comfort food recipes like this. I love it. 👍
You're very welcome! Had to go to the source to get the scoop and glad I did!
Every other recipe I've seen calls for 2 pounds of shredded hash browns which would be both bags you had there. Just curious while you only used a portion out of the second bag?
Omg!!! This recipe is GOLD!! It turned out perfect!! Thank you very much for sharing.
I'm from the UK and my wife is moving here from Rockford. I'm learning how to make as much of the CB menu as possible as it's the only thing we wish we could take with us! Thank you for this, you're getting me all the brownie points!
I have made this for my family and they loved it. Taste exactly like Cracker Barrel's hash brown casserole. Thank you for sharing.
I have made this... it's delicious. One suggestion, before adding the melted butter, add the salt and pepper to the butter and stir it in the measuring cup first. Dumping salt and pepper on top of cold and solid ingredients will make it darn near impossible to distribute evenly, no matter how many times you stir/fold the large lump mixture. BTW, thanks for the Colby cheese distinction. I did not know that. Thanks for a great recipe.
Oy vey - the next time you post a video on how to sell a home, we'll all be sure to correct *you* on some piddly detail that makes no difference whatsoever.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad I found your recipe!
So, I was *this* close! You actually showed me how the techniques are going to give a better texture & consistency! I had not been using the food processor for the cheese. I had been mixing in regular grated cheese and then putting a layer of cheese on top. Also, leaving the casserole to rest for 30 min should indeed get me closer to the CB yumminess - Thanks!
I'll love this recipe! So simple and so good! I get so mad when I have to hunt it down each time I want to make it, so my son showed me how to save it. Yay son!
Literally in love this with video and I did the recipe tastes JUST LIKE IT ! thank you soooo much
Thanks so much for this recipe/video. My husband absolutely loves it. So simple to make, and it is delicious!!
You're welcome! There's nothing wrong with the recipes using cheddar and sour cream, it's just not CB's recipe. You'll be happy with this one. Let me know what you think when you try it out!
Greatest recipe of all time . Thank you for this!
It is! Rich but good.
You just got yourself a new Subscriber for sure! I have this baking in the oven right now!! Thank you for all your helpful comments and taking the time to share with your fans!! Lovin' it!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
So nice to see a recipe for hash brown casserole without sour cream! I love Cracker Barrel's recipe and this is very close to that taste and consistency.
This looks absolutely delicious. I appreciate that you took us through each step and explaining everything. I definitely intend to make this. I see what you mean that this recipe could take on a lot of variations. Well done video!
I have made this numerous times over the years and it is spot on, ..I mix mine in a seperate bowl and add a lil bit more salt..everybody love whn I make it..its perfect thank u
Thank you Zoe!!
Thanks Melissa!
Thank you, make this all the time. Everyone here loves this.
Was there a specific moment in your life when you realized you were in love with Cracker Barrel?
Are you there once and it was so much sodium in the food I was seeing stars I will never eat another Cracker Barrel again
When i seen the commercial 😂
Screw Cracker Barrel. They told me I had a job there and had me go out and buy the required items for their uniform with money I didn't have, only to turn around and tell me the person who "hired" me didn't know wtf he was doing and that I didn't have the job after all.
@@englishatheart Well now, that SUX !!
You're very welcome!
Now that looks so delish, thank you for the recipe and thank you for giving us all these inside scoops of the real deal 😄
Going to try this recipe this morning.. I’ve tried several of your recipes and I love them. Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you for your straight and to the point recipe video! I will be making this for Easter brunch!

This looks really good. Reminds me of an old family recipe that would be handed down through generations. I really think I'll try it!

I tried your recipe and followed your instructions exactly and it was phenomenal, I used Ore-Ida frozen hash browns and Great Value colby cheese, plan on making this again on Christmas morning
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks so much for posting this! I have been looking for a decent recipe and this is definitely it! :)
Super excited! Thanks 😇 Short and sweet and to the point 👏👏👏👏
Appreciate it! My kids love that stuff
I absolutely love your recipes! Thank you.
My favorite recipe! Thank you so much!
This man is god sent ! ❤️❤️
Awesome. Tried it today and it’s perfect. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome! Most all the other copycat recipes use cheddar cheese and sour cream, neither of which CB uses. Colby is the the secret! As for the potatoes, I don't see why using fresh grated potatoes wouldn't work! You can make your own hashbrowns by shredding the potatoes and putting them in a bowl and microwaving them for just a few minutes and it's far cheaper than the frozen ones. Give it a go! You won't be disappointed!
That looks so good. May have to make some for the holidays.
Thanks for this recipe! I love the CB hash brown casserole!
Legit, made it today with my wife for a Christmas breakfast practice run. Extended family is gonna love it! Thank you! 👏👏👏
You're very welcome. Have a Merry Christmas!
@@croutoncrackerjacks Same to you!
Spot on! This is my cheat meal!! Bless u!
Thank you for providing this recipe. Didn't know CB uses margarine in this, majorly bummed. I'll be using butter.
Hope Goodwin my daughter had a dairy allergy. Be glad you don’t.
And maybe a spatula to mix with verses hands.
Me too. I don't use plastic in any of my recipes, and I won't be ordering it at CB anymore either.
Cracker Barrel did use margarine. I work there for about 5 years or more as a backup cook. And we use frozen hashbrowns.
@@sandrajordan301 Cracker Barrel use large mixer to make the casserole.
I made this for me and my husband. and we love , same cracker barrel. Thanks
Wow! That is a great idea for breakfast!My sister would love this Cracker Barrel style hashbrowns-you've made it so easy for me to make!
Thanks for making this video, I just pulled it outta the oven smells amazing!
I love Cracker Barrel hash brown recipe and haven't been able to reproduce the recipe. Thank you so much! I get extra hash brown casserole to take home and broil it so it's crispy on top. I have little shallow ramekins that are perfect to reheat and crisp up leftovers. Use a deeper ramekin if you prefer yours more creamy.
Sometimes at Cracker Barrel the hash browns don't cook all the way through so I put mine in the microwave for a couple minutes then broil in my toaster oven.
I'm about to make it for the first time this morning for Christmas breakfast 😋. Wished me lunch .
Looks really good. Will try this. I love checking out other cooking channels to get new ideas for things to cook.
This video alone should have made you a millionaire lol. Spot on
Glad to find this recipe. Thank you for sharing!💕
I really like the look of this AND it's easy to do. Going to give this a try. Thank you for uploading :)
I just moved to Australia from Ohio and I'm really missing some of the yummy American foods I grew up with. I'm glad you showed me how to make it. The only thing I might need to buy a similar brand of is the hash browns.
Good luck with that! We moved to NZ from Pennsylvania and the "hash browns" here are either tater tots or those MacDonald's patties. We have to shred the potatoes in the food processor....
