Stove Top Hashbrown Casserole
Description
The recipe begins by cooking frozen hash browns with diced onion and minced garlic sautéed in olive oil until the potatoes defrost and take on slight browning, imparting a delicate crust. Flour and dry mustard powder are then added to develop a creamy base, followed by milk to create thickness. Sour cream is stirred in carefully to avoid curdling, creating a rich, tangy sauce that blends with melted sharp cheddar cheese.
After removing from heat, the casserole is topped with additional cheddar and briefly heated with a lid or under a broiler to melt and slightly brown the cheese topping. The result is a casserole with tender, flavorful potatoes coated in a creamy, cheesy sauce with a mild sharpness and subtle complexity from the mustard powder and herbs.
This hashbrown casserole serves well for breakfast or brunch as a side dish, pairing nicely with eggs or breakfast meats. Cooking on the stove top minimizes baking time while still melting the cheese thoroughly, providing practical convenience.
