I used the cream of mushroom soup also, and made two batches, one with and one without butter. The one without actually tasted better... creamier and didn''t have the fat on top after baking. Great recipe, but I would eliminate the butter.

This is as close as it gets and I've been trying to duplicate for a long time. Thaw the shredded hash browns first otherwise casserole is really watery. A little more cheese and stirring about half way through really helped to crisp up the casserole. This one is a keeper. Thanks!!!

Excellent!! Delicious!! I substituted Cheddar Cheese soup in lieu of Cream Of Chicken. I also sprinkled a little extra cheddar cheese on top about ten minutes before it was done. My family loved them! Will use this recipe for upcoming barbecues this summer!
