Ingredients

• 32 oz frozen shredded hash browns
• 1 lb Tennessee Pride sausage (mild or hot)
• 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 4 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tbsp green onions or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Tennessee Pride sausage, breaking it up into crumbles, until it is browned and fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

Step 4

Add the frozen hash browns and cooked sausage to the mixture in the bowl. Use a large spoon or spatula to gently fold everything together until evenly combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese on top if desired.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the top is lightly golden.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle paprika over the top for added color and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley for a fresh touch.

Step 8

Let the casserole cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
