Ingredients

  • 4 pieces of bacon cooked & chopped
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp each salt, pepper, ground mustard
  • 1 tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp dill pickle juice
  • 2 lb bag of frozen southern style/diced hash browns
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 10 oz can condensed cheddar soup
  • 2 cups of shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 2 green onions chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • You will need bacon for this recipe. Cook at least 4 pieces of bacon for this recipe. Drain well and chop into small pieces. Or you could use bacon bits, if you don't want to make bacon.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown 1 lb of ground beef with chopped onion. Season with salt, pepper, ground mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Drain any extra grease from the meat.
  • Next, add the ketchup, mustard, and pickle juice. Stir well and remove from the heat.
  • Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray. Combine diced hash browns, ground beef, sour cream, condensed cheddar soup, 1 cup of shredded Colby Jack cheese. Mix together well and spread out evenly in the pan. Top with 1 more cup of shredded cheese and then bacon.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F covered with foil for 1 hour. Remove the foil and let cook for a couple more minutes to brown the cheese.
  • Top with chopped green onions. Serve with ketchup, pickles, or a homemade burger sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

See my Frequently Asked Question section for more tips! 
  • I used condensed cheddar soup in this recipe. It helps create a nice cheesy casserole, but you could use cream of chicken or even cream of mushroom soup instead.
  • I shred Colby Jack cheese from a block because it melts well, but cheddar cheese would also be good in this recipe.
  • My family prefers ground beef, but you could use a pound of ground turkey instead.
  • I use frozen cubed hash browns, but if you prefer shredded hash browns you could use those instead.
  • This casserole is good served with ketchup or you could make a simple burger sauce recipe using 1/2 cup mayo, 1/4 cup ketchup, and 2 tbsp mustard stirred together.
