Viriginia Blue Ridge Broccoli Cheddar Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole

Made with Frontier Soups Virginia Blue Ridge Broccoli Cheddar Soup Mix

There’s something comforting about waking up to the smell of a cheesy breakfast casserole baking in the oven. Whether it’s a holiday morning or just a cozy weekend brunch, this Broccoli Cheddar Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole brings everyone to the table. It’s hearty, golden, and full of familiar flavor—thanks to our Virginia Blue Ridge Broccoli Cheddar Soup Mix, which adds real veggies, herbs, and a velvety richness without any condensed soup required.

This recipe comes to us from our friend Jess at Slice of Jess, who loves it so much she makes it year-round. We couldn’t agree more—it’s the kind of dish that turns simple ingredients into something special.

Ingredients

• 5 oz Frontier Soups Virginia Blue Ridge Broccoli Cheddar Soup Mix
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
• 30 oz frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
• 12 oz mild cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
• 1 cup sour cream
• Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the soup mix, heavy cream, and stock. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the vegetables and seasonings to hydrate.
2. Stir in the thawed hash browns, sour cream, half of the cheese, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
3. Pour the melted butter into a 9x13-inch casserole dish, tilting to coat all sides. Spread the potato mixture evenly in the dish and top with the remaining cheese.
4. Bake at 350°F for 45–50 minutes, until the top is bubbly and golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Cheese swaps: Try Monterey Jack, provolone, or a blend of sharp and mild cheddar for variety.
• Add-ins: Crumbled bacon, chopped bell peppers, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika make great mix-ins.
• Make ahead: Prepare the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning.

Serve this casserole alongside fresh fruit or a simple salad for a full brunch spread. Any leftovers freeze beautifully—perfect for busy weekday mornings when you still want something homemade.
