Instant Pot Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole
Sometimes the easiest recipes are the tastiest! That certainly proved to be true in the case of this Instant Pot Cracker Barrel hashbrown casserole recipe. You’re going to love how this recipe has simple, basic ingredients that taste so good together. I know my family loved it! My son keeps asking if there are leftovers!
- I used my Instant Pot Duo Crisp* with air fryer lid. If you don’t have an air fryer lid try making this recipe in the oven or slow cooker. Look for instructions in the recipe card below.
- I haven’t tried making this with fresh potatoes and honestly I don’t think it would work very well. Frozen hashbrown potatoes are partially cooked and work well with the cooking times listed in the recipe card.
- If you want you can make your own cream of chicken soup. You can also use cream of mushroom soup for this recipe, if you prefer.
- Hashbrown casserole makes a perfect side dish to any dinner! Serve it with ham, chicken, pork chops, steaks, etc. It’s also a great dish to bring to church potlucks.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

I know i said i doubled the time it still wasnt long enough. I turned heat up slightly and i tripled the time. Still waiting for my pototatoes. The turkey is already done…. Hum trial and error at least i know for how long next tinr
★★★
Good to know that doubling the recipe it will take more than double the time. Deep dish items in the IP are tricky.
Followed excatley but this wasnt fully cooked all the way. It was warm at best. Im giving it more time. Like double time.
★★★★
Can this be made using “simply potatoes? It’s a refrigerator product?
Yes I believe that would work well

Karen, I have vegetarians in the family, so cream of mushroom soup maybe as a substitute for the cream of chicken soup?
yes!
I saw the soup listed and thought “This is not meatless” glad you asked! I would also wonder if cream of celery soup would work….
yes cream of celery would work
What if I don’t have the air fryer lid? But have a separate air fryer? Also, can you buy just an air fryer lid for the IP if you already have an IP?
★★★★★
I would bake in the oven if I were you for now. You can buy an air fryer lid I believe separately but you’ll want to confirm model of you IP so that it will fit.
If you make these in the oven, do you prepare the recipe up to the point where you use the air fryer lid, then put them in the oven, or do you just mix everything together, frozen potatoes and all, and stick it all in the oven for 45-60 minutes?
I would go to step 3 on the recipe then instead of spreading in the IP spread in a baking dish and bake in the oven.
Can this also be made as a meal prep and refrigerated or freeze?.
Yes for sure!
