How to Make Loaded Hash Browns Potato Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Thaw 2 lbs frozen hash brown potatoes completely. You can do this overnight in the refrigerator or use the defrost setting on your microwave.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of potato soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter, 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Gently fold in the thawed hash brown potatoes until evenly coated.
  5. Spray a 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter and 1/2 cup bread crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
