Crock Pot Recipe Cheesy Kielbasa Hash Browns

Steps:

• Mix hash brown potatoes, Cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, onion, milk, seasoned salt, garlic, and 1/2 cup cheese-flavored crackers in a slow cooker.
• Cook on Low, stirring occasionally until cooked through, about 2 hours. Stir and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese-flavored crackers.

Steps:

• Place frozen hash browns in a slow cooker. Pour melted butter over hash browns. Pour in cream of chicken soup and sour cream, stirring between each addition. Add Cheddar cheese. Cook on Low for 4 to 5 hours. Stir mixture after 2 hours of cooking.

Steps:

• Oven to 350. Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a skillet cook the leeks in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add in the mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Cut the sausage into ½ inch cubes and add to the bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir gently to combine. Spread into pan. Sprinkle with a little more shredded cheddar. Bake 40 - 45 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Spray 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
• In 8-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in butter, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes or until translucent and soft.
• In large bowl, stir onion mixture and remaining ingredients until well combined.
• Place in slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 3 hours; stir. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 2 to 3 hours longer or until center of casserole reaches at least 165°F and edges are bubbly. Stir.

Steps:

• Put hashbrowns, onion, and peas in crock.
• Then put in seasonings next and cheese and milk.
• Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours, or high 3-4 hours.

Steps:

• In crock pot, combine hash browns, kielbasa, broth and onions. Stir well and cook on low 6-8 hours.
• 30 minutes before serving, cut cheese into cubes and stir into soup. Cover and cook on high 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• We like this soup pretty thick, but if you prefer a thinner soup now is a good time to add some extra broth or milk. Wait until after the cheese has melted to add extra liquid so you can be sure of the consistency.
• Serve hot with crusty bread!
• To make this recipe A LOT healthier, use turkey kielbasa, fat free/low sodium chicken broth, and Light Velveeta. I routinely use these substitutions and the soup still turns out fantastic! If I have the time, I do like to remove the casings from the turkey kielbasa as I think they tend to get a little chewy when cooked all day. Just split them carefully with a knife and peel away the casings before chopping. Enjoy!
