Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey sausage, mild or spicy
  • 1 (30 ounce) bag frozen shredded hash browns, do not thaw
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage and diced onion together, breaking the sausage into crumbles, until the sausage is no longer pink and the onion is soft. Drain any excess grease.
  2. In a very large mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, condensed soup, chicken broth, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. To the bowl with the sauce, add the frozen hash browns, the cooked sausage and onion mixture, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Fold everything together until the hash browns are evenly coated.
  4. Lightly grease the insert of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Transfer the casserole mixture into the crockpot and spread into an even layer.
  5. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, until the edges are bubbly and the center is hot.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Re-cover and let it melt before serving.

Notes

Always use frozen hash browns; thawed ones will make the casserole watery. For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free soup and sausage. Leftovers reheat well in the microwave or oven.
