Total time: 1 hr | Serves: 6 – 8

I am in love with this sour cream hash brown casserole. It is incredibly easy to whip up using just basic ingredients, and this is ready in a snap. It’s a great side dish excellent to pair with pork chops, chicken, and steaks, with a side of steamed green beans for dinner. You can bring this to potlucks or gatherings. This casserole is also amazing to serve for a big brunch or dinner.

I especially enjoy this casserole for breakfast with some scrambled eggs and bacon. This sour cream hash brown casserole has been my favorite and go-to for a large weekend brunch or breakfast.

If you prefer a vegetarian casserole, you can use cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken soup. You can store any leftover sour cream hash brown casserole in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 2 months. Leftovers are great for an easier and quicker meal.

INGREDIENTS

1/3 c. (5-6 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted

1 (32 ounces) package of frozen cubed hash browns

1 (10.75 ounces) can of cream of celery or chicken soup

1/2 c. Ritz crackers, lightly crushed

1 (16 ounces) package of sour cream

1/2 tsp garlic powder

3 strips bacon, garnish

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

How to make Sour Cream Hash Brown Casserole

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using a non-stick spray, lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Place the sour cream, celery soup, 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, and melted butter in a large bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until blended. Fold in the hash browns.

Step 3: Into the prepared baking dish, transfer the mixture, and top with the crushed Ritz cracker.

Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Step 4: Into the center of a tortilla, place 1/3 c. of the chicken and top with 1 tbsp cheese and 2 tbsp salsa-ranch mixture. Roll the tortilla and lay it in the baking dish. Do the same with the remaining ingredients.

Step 5: Over the enchiladas, pour the rest of the salsa-ranch mixture and evenly sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top.

Step 6: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the enchiladas are completely heated.

Step 7: On top, drizzle more ranch dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

You can also cook the chicken breasts on the stovetop. Shred the chicken once cooked and stir with chicken broth and taco seasoning.

I love cheesy scalloped zucchini! I only get this from my favorite restaurant, and I never thought that I can easily whip this up at home. This simple recipe made it possible. It is super easy, quick, and very delicious. A fifteen-minute side dish that pairs so well with just about anything.

This cheesy scalloped zucchini is packed with fresh zucchini smothered in a creamy cheesy sauce. This recipe is excellent if you have an abundance of zucchini or if you simply love zucchinis. This is super good and has been one of my go-to for years. The ultimate comfort food that even my fussiest eaters enjoy! I love to pair this up with grilled and baked meats for a restaurant-quality meal that you can whip up at home!

1 pound zucchini, thinly sliced

Unsalted butter, softened, as needed

2/3 c. heavy cream

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1/2 c. Gruyere cheese, freshly grated

1 tsp dried thyme

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Step 3: Sprinkle the zucchini with salt and pepper. On the prepared baking pan, arrange the zucchini. Place in the preheated oven and broil for about 4 minutes or until the zucchini is just starting to soften.
