1 cup sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup chopped onion

1/4 tsp of salt

1/4 tsp of pepper

1- 32 oz. package of shredded frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed

Instructions

Step 1: Grill onions on the stove in butter or olive oil until softened and golden brown

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine sour cream, cheese, cream of chicken soup, grilled onions, salt and black pepper. Stir in hashbrowns until evenly coated.

Step 3: Coat inside of crockpot or slow cooker with cooking spray or butter. Add hashbrown mixture. Cover. Cook on Low for 4 hours. Enjoy!

Note: You can also choose to add garlic powder, preferred cooked breakfast meat, etc., for additional deliciousness! 

Notes

I love to fix this for my family especially during the holidays as it can cook in the background and be ready without much thought!  You can easily pair with eggs, muffins and danishes, etc. On Christmas morning, I often serve this dish alongside an egg and cheese casserole (you must get this recipe from my sister-Monique!), sausage or ham biscuits, muffins/danishes, grapes and juice.  A table full of goodies that will fill everyone without a ton of effort.
