Ingredients

Key Ingredients for Pimento Cheese Hash Brown Casserole:

Hash Browns: Frozen hash browns work best for convenience
Pimento Cheese: A creamy cheese spread with a tangy flavor
Sour Cream: Adds creaminess and a slight tang
Cheddar Cheese: Shredded cheddar gives a cheesy, savory flavor
Onion: For added flavor and a bit of crunch
Butter: Adds richness and helps bind the casserole

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
Prepare the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine frozen hash browns, sour cream, pimento cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and finely chopped onions. Add melted butter for extra richness and mix well.
Assemble the Casserole: Spread the hash brown mixture evenly in the prepared casserole dish, smoothing the top.
Bake the Casserole: Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispy top, if desired.
Serve and Enjoy: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. It pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables or a hearty main dish.

Notes

Use Frozen Hash Browns: Frozen hash browns are convenient and ensure the casserole bakes up perfectly crispy.
Customize with Toppings: Add crispy bacon, green onions, or a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor and texture.
Make Ahead: Prepare the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
Add Veggies: For extra nutrition, consider adding sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the mix.
