Ingredients
Scale
- 11 oz Palmetto Cheese (pimento cheese)
- 2 pounds frozen hashbrown potatoes
- 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken soup)
- 16 oz sour cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup crispy onions
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This moderate temperature allows the casserole to cook evenly throughout, giving the hashbrowns time to become tender while preventing the cheese from burning.
- Mix the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hashbrown potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, Palmetto Cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and evenly distributed. This ensures every bite has the perfect balance of flavors.
- Transfer to Baking Dish
- Transfer the mixture into a 9″x13″ casserole dish and spread it evenly throughout the pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top for even cooking.
- Add Topping and Bake
- Sprinkle the crispy onions evenly over the top of the casserole. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F for 50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the top is golden brown.
Notes
- For best results, allow the hashbrowns to thaw slightly before mixing with other ingredients. You can customize this casserole by adding diced ham, bacon, or jalapeños for extra flavor. If you can’t find Palmetto Cheese specifically, any pimento cheese spread will work well. For a make-ahead option, assemble the casserole the day before, refrigerate, and add the crispy onions just before baking.
