Instructions

  1. Preheat and Grease: Preheat the oven to 360F and grease a casserole dish (square or rectangular) with oil.
  2. Process Hash Browns: In a food processor or high-speed blender, process the thawed hash browns until you get the consistency of rice and then squeeze out any excess water. Transfer to a deep bowl.
  3. Add Onions, Salt, Pepper and Cheddar: Add chopped onion, salt, pepper, half of the dairy-free cheddar.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the gluten-free dairy-free cream of chicken soup, melted vegan butter and dairy-free sour cream until smooth.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients with Hash Browns: Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl with the processed hash browns and cheddar cheese. Mix everything thoroughly with a spatula until combined.
  6. Transfer to Casserole Dish: Transfer the hashbrown mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the hashbrown mixture and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Top with Cornflakes and Bake Some More: Top the half-cooked hashbrown mixture with corn flakes and bake for another 7-10 minutes.
  8. Cool Slightly Before Serving: Let the casserole cool slightly for a few minutes, then cut into portions and serve.

Notes

Hash Browns: I thawed medium frozen hash brown patties before processing them. Alternatively, you can also use your hands to tear the thawed hash brown patties to shreds. Or you can use frozen hash browns directly.

Onion: I used a yellow onion, but you may also use white onions or red onions if you prefer.

Salt: I used fine table salt, but go ahead and use fine Himalayan pink salt or fine sea salt if you prefer.

Black Pepper: I like adding freshly ground black pepper for a kick of heat. If you aren’t a fan of pepper, feel free to leave it out instead.

Cheddar Cheese: I used dairy-free cheddar cheese to keep this recipe dairy-free. Alternatively, if you are not lactose-intolerant, feel free to use normal cheddar cheese instead.

Cream of Chicken Soup: I used a gluten-free and dairy-free cream of chicken soup to keep this recipe both gluten-free and dairy-free. Alternatively, if you are not Celiac nor gluten or lactose intolerant, go ahead and use normal cream of chicken soup instead.

Sour Cream: I used dairy-free sour cream to keep this recipe dairy-free. If you are not lactose-intolerant, feel free to use normal sour cream instead.

Butter: I used vegan butter to keep this recipe dairy-free. If you are not lactose-intolerant, feel free to use normal melted butter or ghee instead.

Corn Flakes: Make sure to use unsweetened corn flakes. If you are Celiac or gluten-intolerant, make sure to use gluten-free corn flakes.

Storing: To store, cover the gluten-free hash brown casserole with plastic wrap, or place the casserole in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven before serving. To freeze, place the casserole in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. Let the frozen casserole thaw completely before reheating in the oven and serving.
