Cracker Barrel Hash Browns Casserole (Copycat)

By McLean

A few years ago I was looking for the real deal and found a website that I had to pay $2.50 to download a copy of the famous casserole's recipe. I still use this recipe til this day and have friends ask for it and receive kudos every time I make it.
