2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 (10.5 oz / 300 g) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
Instructions
Prepare the slow cooker
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.

Add the frozen hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream to the slow cooker. Stir well until the potatoes are evenly coated in the creamy cheese mixture.
Cook until tender
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or on HIGH for 2–3 hours, stirring once halfway through if possible, until the potatoes are hot, tender, and fully cooked.
Serve warm
Once the potatoes are creamy and bubbly, stir gently and serve directly from the slow cooker to keep them warm.
