Crock Pot Smoked Sausage and Hashbrown Casserole

I literally got a text one afternoon asking for my crock pot smoked sausage and potatoes recipe. I thought I don’t have one. How is this possible? So, I sent her to my crock pot ham and scalloped potatoes recipe and quickly created my own crock pot smoked sausage and hashbrown casserole.

Crock pot smoked sausage and hashbrown casserole is a simple cheesy sausage and potato recipe that is a great weeknight meal in my beloved casserole crock pot. You will want to put this on the menu at your house this week. And if you still do not have a casserole crock pot, buy one. Right now.

Crock Pot Smoked Sausage and Hashbrown Casserole

The ingredients are staples in our house. I have frozen hashbrowns, sour cream, onions, cream of mushroom soup, smoked sausage and shredded cheese every day of the week. Let’s be honest, most days I could probably make four or five of these casseroles.

I keep the hasbrowns on the counter for about 30 minutes before making this casserole. It allows me to break it up more easily for the casserole. When I am ready to make the casserole, I dice the onion, slice the smoked sausage, and melt the butter and get everything mixed together. I prefer using the Progresso cream of mushroom soup since it is gluten-free and has larger chunks of mushrooms.

I actually grease the crock pot for this recipe before pouring the mixed together ingredients into the casserole crock pot. Once you have the casserole poured into the crock pot, top with additional shredded cheese on top of the casserole.

Cook the casserole on low for 4 hours or high for 2-3 hours. The casserole will be bubbly around the edges. You will want to check the middle of the casserole to make sure it is also piping hot too.

Things you should know, I don’t precook my onions. They are still a little crunchy, but we loved them this way. If you want softer owners, you may want to cook the onions and butter for a few minutes and then add them to the other ingredients.

I am sure you can also bake this in the oven. I would say this will most likely take 45 to 60 minutes to bake. Follow the same philosophy of making sure the middle is hot.

Don’t have smoked sausage, just substitute cubed ham in the place of the smoked sausage. Your family is guaranteed to love this crock pot smoked sausage and hashbrown casserole.
