Tastes just like Cracker Barrels

The flavor of this dish was great. Our family enjoyed it a lot. We thought it was a tad on the greasy side, though, so I will cut back on the butter next time I make it. I also used sharp cheddar instead of colby (that's what I had on hand). Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Not as flavorful with the canned chicken soups I'm afraid. Chef# 1132015 apparently used to work there but has no recipe up for this dish.

If you follow this recipe, you will have duplicated Cracker Barrel's version to the hilt.<br/><br/>Best Tip: Use only freshly grated Colby Cheese. No other cheese can be subsituted! PERIOD!<br/>Same with the Campbell's soup.<br/><br/>Better Tip: The combination of the Colby cheese with Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup is the KEY to duplicating Cracker Barrel's dish.

this recipe is correct except that they use cheddar cheese ( I used to work there and made this daily ). also, the hash browns don't have to be thawed. when they make them the hash browns are still frozen. I have also made it at home using a variety of cheeses and it is still great.
