Cracker Barrel Hash Browns Casserole 2 - Copycat

mommy2taylor's Note:

This is another copycat version of Cracker Barrels hash brown casserole. I found this recipe in a book borrowed from a friend , dont remember the name. The recipe here is designed for a skillet that is also safe for the oven. If you dont have one, you can easily transfer the casserole to a baking dish after its done cooking on the stove.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 (26 ounce) package frozen shredded hash browns
• 2 cups shredded colby cheese
• ¼ cup minced onion
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup beef stock or ½ cup canned beef broth
• 2 tablespoons butter , melted
• 1 dash garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Combine the frozen hash browns, cheese, and onion in a large bowl.
3. Combine the milk, beef stock, half the melted butter, the garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another bowl.
4. Mix until well blended, then pour the mixture over hash browns and mix well.
5. Heat the remaining butter in large, ovenproof skillet over high heat.
6. When the skillet is hot, spoon in the hash brown mixture.
7. Cook the hash browns, stirring occasionally, until hot and all of the cheese has melted (about 7 min).
8. Put the skillet into the oven and bake for 45 to 60 minute or until surface of hash brown is dark brown.

Looks like the exact same recipe I downloaded online and found in the Top Secret Recipes that restaurants don't want you to know paperback book. Good Stuff!!!

it stuck to the pan and it didnt taste like cracker barrels casserole at all! i followed the instructions step by step... i would suggest that instead of using beef broth, use water instead because i think thats what tasted so bad!

I made this for my Easter brunch. I was going to make a single recipe, but was having alot of people, and wasn't sure it would go, but I doubled it anyway. It was almost all gone!!! Got rave reviews by everyone who had it!! and lots of recipe requests. This one is a keeper!
