How to Make Hash Brown Cheddar Bake

  1. Cook 1/2 pound bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool slightly. Once cool, crumble into small pieces.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil for about 10 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
  3. Add 4 cups frozen hash browns (or 2 pounds tater tots) to the skillet with the onions and garlic.
  4. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring a couple of times, until hash browns are slightly softened.
  5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine 10.75 ounces (1 can) condensed cream of potato soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, the crumbled bacon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Add the cooked hash browns to the soup mixture and gently stir to combine.
  7. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the hash brown mixture into the prepared dish.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, covered with foil.
  10. Remove foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, and the hash browns are heated through.
