Notes

You may want to saute the onion and sausage before adding to the slow cooker.
If you substitute fresh diced potatoes for the frozen, you will probably need to add to the cooking time. The dish is done once your potatoes and onions are cooked.
The original recipe called for 1/2 cup milk, but many people said that it turned out too runny, so I changed it to 1/2 cup sour cream instead.

    So tasty! However I had to add milk- it definitely needed some liquid! Not sure if my crock pot just gets too hot or if it would be better cooking on low, because I did it on high. I also added some Italian seasoning. Easy and yummy, thanks!

    Can you freeze this into portions after baking it in the oven or will it make the potatoes too mushy and watery? Maybe I should’ve frozen it before baking it? I live on my own and no way can I eat it all myself without it going bad first or me getting sick of eating it multiple days in a row.

      I haven't tried it with this recipe but I've frozen similar recipes and it always works out fine. I tend to find baking it before freezing better, otherwise the potatoes get black due to the moisture and oxygen mixed in with the other ingredients.

    I thought this was great. My grandson loved it....had seconds for dinner and another serving later in the evening! The bag of hashbrowns I had was only 28 oz but there was quite enough potatoes. Mine wasn't runny at all.

      You can cook it in a casserole dish in the oven for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through.

      I know this is old but just came to say I tried using the slow cooker on my ip and it failed miserably for fresh cut potatoes. So this time I pressure cooked the potatoes and will slow cook the rest, but I could just as easily just warm it up or bake it.

    As written..this is a great recipe! Being the adventurist type..I made an adjustment..I added 2 blackened poblano peppers (skin and seeds removed) and the residual juices to this. It was AMAZING as written..but..here in deep Texas..everything is better with peppers (of any kind)! Just took this recipe ‘one step’ over amazing!! Ty for your creation!

    I made this, but with fresh cubed potatoes, and chunks of ham instead. (I don’t care for sausage) I cooked it for about 5 hours on high. It is really good, but it was a little runny!

    I made this tonight and everybody loved it!! I added a mixed variety of bell peppers and seasoned the cream of chicken and sour cream with Italian, garlic herb, and black pepper seasonings. I also used local reindeer sausage (since im in alaska) fresh cut red potatoes and then topped it with green onions when it was done cooking. I also made made garlic bread to dip in it. Ill definitely be making this again! Thank you for a really good simple recipe.

      The sausage is fully cooked, but you can saute it to give it some brown color if you would like, otherwise you can just add it in without cooking.

    I made it tonight and we loved it. I’m asking for clarification on the amount of calories per serving. You listed 592 calories for 1gram serving. 1 gram is .035 ounces. 😳 Is this correct? I had 2cups and need an accurate calorie count.

    Made this for dinner using smoked turkey sausage, fresh potatoes (did not need longer to cook). Subbed 1/2 cup smoked gouda for some of the cheddar and added a heaping spoonful of trader joes Dijon mustard and a splash of milk. It was delicious! And the leftovers reheat well. Serve with some hearty bread because you're going to want to get every drop of sauce.

    I couldn’t find diced potatoes ANYWHERE, and I’m really not feeling like dicing up potatoes. So (first time ever) I bought CANNED potatoes 😳 yes, I’m nervous about this. Do suggest adjusting the cooking temp/time for these?

      Since canned potatoes are already cooked, I would only bake for 20 or so minutes and see if it is ready.
