Creamy Cheesy Kielbasa and Hashbrown Casserole (Slow Cooker)

Ingredients:

  • 1 (32 oz) bag of frozen hashbrowns (shredded or diced)
  • 1 lb kielbasa sausage, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1 (10 oz) can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional seasonings: 1 tsp minced garlic, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Slow Cooker: Grease the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or a little butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Ingredients:
  • Add the frozen hashbrowns, diced kielbasa, diced onion, and 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the slow cooker.
  • Toss these ingredients together until they are evenly combined.
  1. Make the Creamy Sauce:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the can of cream of mushroom (or cream of chicken) soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
  • Season the sauce mixture with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and onion powder (if using). Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings if needed.
  1. Pour Over Ingredients:
  • Pour the prepared creamy sauce evenly over the kielbasa, hashbrowns, and onion mixture in the slow cooker.
  • Use a spoon or spatula to gently stir and combine everything so the sauce coats all ingredients.
  1. Add Extra Cheese:
  • Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
  1. Cook:
  • Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the hashbrowns are tender, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  1. Serve:
  • Once cooked, give it a gentle stir to mix the cheese into the casserole.
  • Serve hot with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. For a decadent touch, serve with garlic Texas toast.
  1. Chill (Optional):
  • If making ahead, refrigerate for about 3 hours to let the flavors meld.
  1. Enjoy:
  • Dig in and say goodbye to it, because it will be devoured quickly and become a fond memory… until you make it again!

This dish is perfect for feeding a crowd on a budget, and it’s a guaranteed hit for potlucks, family dinners, or any occasion when you want a warm, comforting meal.
