How to Make Taco Hashbrown Casserole in a Slow Cooker
Aunt Lou here.
At the end of last year, I made a Taco Crock Pot Tater Tot Casserole recipe for you guys that was an instant favorite in my family (both at my house and when I shared it with my extended family while we were out in Texas) and with our readers. Your response to that recipe got me thinking of other recipes that will satisfy your palate and be super easy to make. That is how you guys are now seeing this wonderful Taco Crock Pot Hashbrown Casserole! So yummy!
This recipe is a cinch to throw together. Beware though, when your family sees you throwing this recipe together, they are going to go nuts and bug you about how much time is left before dinner until it is dinner time. lol However, you will be the hero of your home when it is time for dinner!
If you area cheese lover, you can always add more cheese to the recipe. In my humble opinion, there is no such thing as too much cheese!
It is in the recipe, but I want to reiterate it here: make sure your country style hashbrowns are still frozen. They will thaw and cook in the crock pot. If you thaw them before you put them in the crock pot, they might be overcooked by the time the cooking time is over.
Psst…wanna make this in your oven? You can find there recipe here.

I really liked it! I substituted garlic parmesan soup, and I added a can of drained corn. Devious with hot salsa and sour cream
Im allergic to garlic. Also onion. Do I have to add the garlic into this recipe? Is there anything else I can use instead?
Hi Lynne,
We have not made this recipe without garlic or without a substitute before. However, I think it could be made with omitting the garlic or whatever seasonings you usually use to compliment taco seasoning. It will change the flavor of the recipe but could still be good. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!
Aunt Lou
Can you cook it in a casserole dish in oven
Absolutely! You can find the oven recipe here: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/taco-hashbrown-casserole-oven-recipe/. Enjoy!
Yummy and easy to make without a lot of ingredients!
Fantastic Taste Meal.
Easy To Make!
Love this as a base recipe. Sometimes I switch the beef to ground pork. Sometimes I omit taco seasoning and add a small bag of mixed vegetables. Sometimes I omit taco seasoning and replace the beef with hot breakfast sausage. It always works.
I used spicy nacho cheese soup instead of the cheddar soup. Highly recommend. It was amazing.
In my crockpot now! Itโs going to be amazing!!!!
I havenโt made this yet but it sounds delicious. I think this might be a good breakfast casserole by substituting sausage for the hamburger.
So just to clarify, I do not add water and seasoning together after draining like you would normally prepare taco meat??? Just add the seasoning in the bowl with everything else?
Correct. You do not need to add water to the seasoning. You will add the seasoning into the large bowl with the other ingredients straight from the packet. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
Add two full packets, don’t drain Rotel, add a teaspoon of salt, 1 cup sour cream and 1 can Cream of Jalepeno soup. A+++
I know itโs a crockpot recipe, but has anyone baked in oven? If so what temp and time? Thank you!
You can find the oven recipe here: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/taco-hashbrown-casserole-oven-recipe/. Enjoy!
I tried it, and it’s amazing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Can I put this together the night before and refrigerate it and cook it in the morning
I haven’t tried putting this together the night before. My only concern is how it would change the cooking time. In the original recipe, the hashbrowns are frozen when the cooking time starts. If it is in the fridge overnight, the hashbrowns would thaw. If you give it a try, I would watch it closely to adjust the cooking time as needed.
Looks delicious. Do you mix the hash browns frozen or thawed? Thanks!
I mixed them in frozen. Enjoy!
I just made this recipe. It definitely needs two packets of taco seasoning mix. I followed the recipe exactly and it didn’t have a lot of taste. It also needed salt. I’ll try again with these changes!
Hi Jackie!
I’m sorry that this recipe wasn’t what you expected. We know that with over 2,000 recipes that every recipe won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I hope that either this recipe, with the adjustments you mentioned, or another recipe will be something you love!
Iโm not sure if Iโm missing it somewhere but what is the serving size? Iโm diabetic so I have to take insulin for my carbs but I canโt find how much a serving size is.
The serving size is 1/6th of the casserole. Please keep in mind, the nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.

We like to serve Crock Pot Black Beans (https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/crock-pot-black-beans/) or Crock Pot Refried Beans (https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/crock-pot-refried-beans/) with it. Enjoy!
