Pin This RecipeHam and Cheese Hash Brown Casserole is a new favorite in our house. I made this for lunch. Chicken Legs took one bite and said “Hey! This is really good!”. He could not stop eating this! I can see why, it is crazy good! Hash browns, ham, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, cream of potato soup, and sour cream. YUM!
This casserole is different from our usual potato casseroles because it uses Cream of Potato soup instead of Cream of Chicken soup. It made the casserole super creamy and delicious! I used freshly grated parmesan cheese, but you can certainly use the canned grated cheese if that is what you have in the fridge.
This casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen for later. This is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can omit the ham if you want to serve this as a side dish. I like to split the casserole into two foil pans and bake one now and freeze one for later.
This casserole is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We serve this with some green beans or broccoli and some biscuits. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this easy casserole:

Can you use fresh hash browns?
I made this casserole as written before and loved it. I made it again with a few changes. I fried my Hash Browns because I think they have more flavor that way. I also used 1 Cup Sour Cream and 1 Cup of French Onion Dip. Delicious!
Could I cook this in a crock pot?? Cool on low for about 3hours?
Did you ever try to cook this in a crock pot? If so, did it turn out?
Did you try cooking this in a crockpot? Did it work?
Added diced peppers and onions to mine and split the cheese between cheddar and pepper jack-delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Thinking of topping this with a little tomatoes. What do think?
Sounds good! Enjoy!
Can I substitute something else for the sour cream? Possibly cream cheese?
Greek Yogurt
So there is no seasoning in this, no salt or pepper. Is the cheese,soups and ham enough for flavor?
I obviously think so, since that is how I made it. Any changes to the recipe would be up to you.
What can I used instead of sour cream? Cream cheese possibly?
What time & temperature would you use to cook it from frozen? Thanks!
Same temperature and you will just have to play with the cooking time. I always thaw the casserole before baking.
I made it tonight. I used left over Christmas ham I had in the freezer. The casserole was good, would have been better if my ham hadn't been so sweet.
This is sooo good! We top it with two fried eggs to complete the meal and it's amazing.
Cant find cream of potato at all. Can I use cream of mushroom instead?
Do you have to thaw hash browns
I don’t thaw them, but you can.
I made this. The only substitution I made was cream of mushroom instead of potato. After baking it, I ate about a cup’s worth and left the remainder in the casserole dish on the oven. I left for 2 hours and my 2 teenage sons devoured it! It’s one of the easiest dishes to make with such a great flavor. It will become a staple in our house….it’s that good! A family favorite for sure!!
I would like to bring this dish to a family breakfast, would it be okay to bake the dish for 30 min. at my house and then finish the remaining 30 min. at their house?
I think that would be fine. Enjoy!
but what about eggs??? can I add eggs?
this particular recipe doesn't have eggs, but you can try adding some.
How long would you reheat?
Probably about 30 minutes
I just made 1/4 of this recipe for myself in the airfryer. I don’t care for canned soups, so I just made an equivalent amount of white sauce from 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of flour, and half a cup of milk with some salt pepper at it. It only took 25 minutes at 350° in the air fryer. Delicious!
I made this for an office breakfast potluck and it was a huge hit! The casserole had such wonderful flavor. I added green chile because being from New Mexico, we add green chile to everything. The chile gave it another depth of flavor and a little kick.
