This is a great breakfast or brunch dish. It tastes like the casserole from Cracker Barrel.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This Crock Pot Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole is super easy and creamy. The tater tots break down into hash brown-like potatoes and look like a casserole. Preparing this side dish requires very little work. Creamy and cheesy, it could be a breakfast casserole or a dinner side dish alongside chicken, steak, ribs, or pork chops.

How To Make crock pot cheesy hash brown casserole

Test Kitchen Tips
We recommend you use a Crock Pot liner for this recipe. We didn't and our edges burned slightly. The liner would help to prevent this. Stir halfway through the cooking process.
  • Layer tater tots, onions, and shredded cheese in a slow cooker.
    1
    In a Crock Pot, put a layer of tater tots and onions. Top with cheese. Make 3 or 4 layers depending on the size of your slow cooker ending with shredded cheese on top.
  • Combine milk, seasonings, soup, and cheese sauce in a bowl.
    2
    In a bowl, combine milk, seasonings, cream of chicken soup, and cheese sauce. Mix until well blended.
  • Pour cheese mixture over tater tots.
    3
    Pour over tater tots in the slow cooker.
  • Cook on low for 6-7 hours.
    4
    Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
  • The tater tots will break down.
    5
    The tater tots will lose their shape as they cook. It is more of a hash brown casserole.
