How to Make Taco Hashbrown Casserole in an Oven

Aunt Lou here.

So, I recently made a super yummy Taco Crock Pot Hashbrown Casserole that everyone is loving! One of the most frequently asked questions we get when we put out a recipe for the crock pot or instant pot is, “How can I make that in my oven?” I thought I would get try it out so I can tell you just exactly how it is done! And you are in luck! This recipe is just as yummy in the oven as it is in the crock pot!

This recipe is so simple to throw together. It is one of those recipes that is perfect for an evening that is either chaotic or at the end of a day that has you just needing an easy recipe to get dinner on the table. I am positive that you will add it to “go to list” of recipes for future use! It is an added bonus that the flavor of this dish is incredible! Everyone from the youngest to the oldest at your table are going to absolutely love it! My kiddos were coming up to me constantly while I was making it asking if they got to have THAT for dinner! My husband was sniffing the air asking what I had made that smelled so good. So not only did my family enjoy eating it, it made my house smell great!

Has anyone used queso instead of the cheese soup? I’m wondering if that would work.

  I haven’t tried that, but I think it would be an interesting twist on the original recipe. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

Delicious!! I put this in my favorite folder on Pintrest. I did not add water because I didn’t see it listed in the ingredients.
Next time I make this recipe I will add small jar of totino’s queso cheese sauce in sted of cheese soup.

  Nope. You just add it in with the other ingredients you are mixing together in step 3. Enjoy!

This was delicious! Although, I thought 30 oz of hash browns was a lot for just one lb of ground beef, so I only used half the bag. It turned out great! Next time I think I will double everything but the hash browns. I also used a condensed nacho cheese soup instead of the cheddar because that’s all the store had and it was a great substitute! I will done making this again. Thanks for the recipe!

Making tonight. I kept looking at recipe for more liquid. Definitely not enough liquid in my opinion. I added a can of Rotel with chilis and a whole diced onion. Will post final decision after trying.

  Ok. Final verdict in. I also like other reviewers had to cook an additional 10 minutes or so. I also partially defrosted hash browns, they were too froze to mix into the other ingredients. All in all not a bad little recipe. Easier than the hassle of actual tacos and far better than fast food tacos. 🙂

Loved it! Doubled recipe (large family who likes leftovers), added corn, and smoked paprika. Did have to cook an extra 10 minutes to finish warming the hashbrowns through though.

Do you thaw the hashbrowns or mix the hashbrowns still frozen?

It was OK…wouldn’t rush to make it again. It needed something. I did add onions and topped with sour cream, which helped. Also needed salt and I would add before cooking next time. One of my kids ate it like a burrito with a flour tortilla. It had the consistency of refried beans. I thought it might be better with fresh tomatoes and lettuce too.

My sauce is watery

If you stored your potatoes in water to prevent discoloring, be sure to drain them well and pat them dry before adding to your casserole. Some of the waxier potatoes can release more water than starchier ones, so look for good baking potatoes like russet or Yukon golds.
