I make a similar dish every Thanksgiving for the last 16 years. I combine all the ingredients with extra sour cream and soup. I crumble cornflakes over the dish and sprinkle with melted butter. Bake in oven uncovered. It's a staple every year.

I have made this recipe a couple of times now. Everyone loves it!! It's quick to throw together and frees up the oven when you have other things to prepare. Yummy recipe and always turns out great!!!

Yummy easy potatoe dish! I doubled the sauce and used one can cream of mushroom and one can cream of celery because I had a vegetarian to consider. I also added 1 cup of fresh Parmesan to the sauce mix. I used 1 1/2 bags of cubed hash browns and cooked it in a 13 x9 foil pan ( I was using my slow cooker for the ham). I cooked it at 350 for 45 minutes covered and 45 minutes uncovered. Everyone loved this casserole and said I should make it again. It's easy enough to make as week night side dish, but fancy enough for holidays or dinner with friends.

My family loves these potatoes! I make them often for just us or for company. I always add 2 cups sour cream to mine and extra cheese, as we like the extra bit in our potatoes. I also bake them in the oven for about an hour instead of using my slow cooker. For an extra kick, try them with some seasoned salt!

Easy and tasty. Mine burnt a bit around the edges in the slow cooker cooking on low for 4:30.

This is a great recipe. I'm always looking for slow cooker dishes. This is great with ham or bacon added to it too. YUMMO!

I can't wait to try these. Looks easy to make and bet it's tasty too. Might add some jalapenos for a nice kick.

Since I only had shredded hashbrowns on hand, I used those and also added ham to make it more of a complete meal. My husband LOVED it! A keeper for sure.
