Notes

Variations
    • Add a teaspoon of garlic powder to the sour cream mixture for extra flavor.
    • For an added crunch, sprinkle a cup of cornflakes, bread crumbs, or crushed butter crackers on top of the casserole before baking.
    • Add chopped veggies to the dish, such as chopped onion or bell pepper. Mixed veggies like corn, carrots, peas, or broccoli are also great additions.
    • Add buffalo wing sauce to the sour cream mixture to make Buffalo Chicken Hashbrown Casserole.
    • Leave the chicken out for the perfect side dish instead of a main meal.
 
Tips
Use slow cooker shredded chicken or grocery store rotisserie chicken to cut down on prep time.
Spread the hashbrowns evenly and layer your ingredients so that you get a little of everything in each bite.
 
Storage
To Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
To Reheat: Microwave individual portions on high in 30-second intervals. Alternatively, you can cover the dish with foil and reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes.
To Freeze: Prepare the casserole and cover with aluminum foil. Be sure to label. The casserole will keep for 3-4 months in the freezer.
To Thaw: Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight.
