Petit Jean Smoked Sausage: Adds plenty of smoky, savory flavor and makes the casserole hearty enough to serve as a main dish.

Onion: Adds savory flavor as it cooks down with the potatoes and sausage.
Cream of Chicken Soup: Creates the creamy base for the casserole.
Sour Cream: Makes the potatoes extra creamy and adds just a little tanginess.
Chicken Bouillon: Boosts the savory flavor throughout the casserole.
Granulated Garlic: An easy way to add plenty of garlic flavor without extra prep.
Black Pepper: Adds a little bite to balance the rich, creamy sauce.
Cheddar Cheese: Melts into the potatoes and creates that irresistible cheesy casserole texture.
Butter: Adds richness and helps make the hashbrowns extra flavorful.

How to Make Crock Pot Smoked Sausage Hashbrown Casserole

Prepare the sausage. Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds or half-moons.
Fill the Crock Pot. Add the shredded hashbrowns, sliced smoked sausage diced onion and half the cheese to the slow cooker. Stir until well combined. Top with butter slices.
Make the creamy mixture. Add the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken bouillon, granulated garlic and black pepper right in the crock pot. Stir until well combined.
Slow cook. Cover and cook until the hashbrowns and onions are tender and the casserole is hot and creamy throughout.
Finish with cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top. Cover again for a few minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
Serve. Garnish with parsley or green onion slices if desired and serve hot.

Easy Add-Ins

This casserole is easy to change up depending on what you have in the refrigerator. Try adding diced bell peppers, chopped green onions, cooked bacon or a small can of diced green chiles.
For a little heat, add crushed red pepper flakes, diced jalapeños or pepper jack cheese.

What to Serve with Smoked Sausage Hashbrown Casserole

Since this casserole already has potatoes, sausage and cheese, I like to keep the sides simple. Serve it with fried okra, a simple garden salad or glazed carrots.
Cornbread or cheddar bay biscuits are always a good addition if you’re feeding a hungry crowd.

Can You Make Smoked Sausage Hashbrown Casserole Ahead?

Yes. You can slice the sausage and onion and mix together with the creamy sauce ahead of time. Store everything covered in the refrigerator, then assemble with the hashbrowns and cheese when you’re ready to start the slow cooker.

How to Store and Reheat

Store leftover smoked sausage hashbrown casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
Individual portions can be reheated in the microwave or in a pan on the stovetop until heated through. For larger portions, place the casserole in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil and reheat until hot.
