Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Baked Hash Brown Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious casserole.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the processed cheese and pop it in the microwave.
Step 3
Heat it until it’s beautifully melted, giving it a stir now and then to ensure it melts evenly—this is where the magic begins! Once your cheese is all gooey and smooth, mix in the thawed hash brown potatoes, creamy mayonnaise, and chopped onion.
Step 4
Stir everything together until it’s well blended, creating a delightful mixture that’s bursting with flavor.
Step 5
Next, transfer this cheesy goodness into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is just as tasty as the last.
Step 6
For that extra crunch and flavor, sprinkle crispy bacon bits generously over the top.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to let the oven work its magic! Bake your casserole in the preheated oven for about an hour, or until it’s hot and bubbly, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 8
Enjoy the anticipation as you wait for this comforting dish to be ready, and get ready to dig into a warm, cheesy delight that’s perfect for any gathering!.
