Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole is a cheesy copycat made right in the Ninja Foodi using the Air Crisp function. Frozen hash browns are combined with a creamy, cheesy sauce and cooked until hot and bubbly with melted cheese on top.
Why I Love This Recipe:
Ingredient Notes
- Onion: A small chopped onion adds savory flavor throughout the casserole. Chop it fairly fine so it blends into the hash browns as they cook.
- Frozen Hash Browns: Use a 30-ounce bag of frozen shredded hash browns. No need to make this complicated with fresh potatoes.
- Cheddar Cheese Soup: Gives the casserole extra cheddar flavor while helping create the creamy sauce.
- Cream of Chicken Soup: Adds richness and helps bind the hash browns together. Use one 10-ounce can.
- Cheddar Cheese: Shredded cheddar adds even more cheesy flavor and creates that melty cheese topping. Shredding your own cheese will give you the smoothest melt.
- Sour Cream: Makes the casserole rich and creamy and balances the condensed soups and cheese.

Tips I Found Helpful
- Keep the hash browns frozen: There’s no need to thaw them before mixing them into the casserole.
- Coat the potatoes well: Stir until all of the hash browns are evenly covered with the creamy soup mixture.
- Spread it evenly: Press the mixture into an even layer in the Ninja Foodi pot so it cooks at the same rate throughout.
- Shred your own cheese: Freshly shredded cheddar melts smoother than bagged pre-shredded cheese.
- Watch the top: Ninja Foodi models can cook differently, so start checking near the end and remove the casserole when the top is golden and the center is hot.
- Let it rest before serving: Give the casserole about 5 minutes after cooking so it can set slightly and is easier to scoop. 💙

This sounds absolutely amazing!!! I just was wondering can this be made in a crock pot?
Do you air crisp this on bake for 20 mins or is there another bake you do. I don’t have “bake” on my foodie
I don’t have a foodie. I have an insta pot do you have a recipe for hash brown casserole copy cat I can use.
You use the air crisp function as directed 350 for 20 minutes and then you can add some more cheese on top and melt it for a few minutes take it out and put some more sour cream and serve..,,,delish!
Just made this, overall good but next time I’m going to cook the onions in some butter first using the saute mode, then add the mixture and combine. The onions didn’t cook all the way through and were still slightly raw.
