This Creamy Hash Brown Bake is the ultimate comfort food for a lazy weekend morning. It combines crispy frozen hash browns with a rich, velvety sauce made from cream of celery soup, milk, and cream cheese. The addition of sweet onion pieces provides a nice textural contrast and subtle sweetness that balances the savory cheese topping. As it bakes, the potatoes become fork-tender and infused with the creamy mixture, while the sharp American cheese melts into a golden, bubbly crust. It’s an easy, make-ahead dish that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavor. Serve it alongside scrambled eggs or bacon for a hearty, home-style breakfast that everyone will love. ItâÂÂs also excellent for holiday brunches when you need a dish that feeds a crowd and stays warm in the oven.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and grease a 10x6-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream of celery soup, milk, and cubed cream cheese over medium heat.
  3. Cook and stir the mixture constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash brown potatoes and the drained, chopped onion pieces.
  5. Pour the warm soup mixture over the potato and onion mixture, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.
  6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Remove the foil from the dish and sprinkle the shredded sharp American cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
