1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

1

Spray or grease a 6-quart (or larger) slow cooker.

2

In a mixing bowl, stir together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, salt, and pepper until smooth.

3

Add the frozen hash browns to the slow cooker, then pour the soup mixture over them and stir gently to combine.

4

Cover and cook on low for 4 hours (or high for ~2½ hours) until potatoes are fully cooked.

5

Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar and cover again for 15–20 minutes so the cheese melts.

6

Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, cover briefly to melt, then serve hot.
