There are many kinds of potato casseroles you can make for a cozy family meal, but when you’re craving comfort, hash brown casseroles are the way to go.

TikToker Brooke (@brookemackenzie13) is throwing together a hash brown casserole for dinner that’s ideal for those lazy evenings when you just don’t feel like cooking.

Leftovers can be easily reheated and even be eaten for a casual breakfast the next day.

These tender, oven-baked potatoes floating in a rich, creamy sauce under a warm, golden crust of cheese are the ultimate comfort food! It can be made as a side dish or served as your main course. Here’s how to prepare it.

First, set your oven to preheat at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, coat the inside of a baking dish with cooking spray.

In the dish, add a full bag of frozen hash browns, two cans of cream of mushroom soup, and approximately one cup of sour cream.

The sharp tang of the sour cream cuts through all the heavy flavors and starch of the potatoes, helping to brighten the taste of the casserole.

Next, add your preferred spices. Brooke likes to use onion salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and chili flakes.

Mix everything together thoroughly, and then pour in two cups of shredded cheddar cheese or any other kind of cheese you like.

Finally, mix it again and place it in the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour.

Several TikTok users shared a few great ideas for giving the hash brown casserole a boost of protein and texture.

“I do this as well, but with cream of chicken, cream of bacon, and chopped bacon, then I top it with crushed Doritos or cornflakes when it’s almost done!” commented one user.

“Yum! I’m about to make this, but adding shredded chicken and a can of peas and carrots. My son is really excited to make this with me,” wrote another.

“Excellent recipe! I added ground sausage for that extra flavor. HUGE win in our house!” exclaimed a third.

Some other ways to add protein to the dish are with diced ham or even a can of tuna. However you choose to make it, you can guarantee that it’ll fill you up on cold fall and winter nights.
