Crock Pot Sloppy Joe Hash Brown Casserole is an easy casserole to make! Layers of cheesy hash browns, ground beef and sloppy joe filling make it a meal!
Spray a 5-6 quart oval crock pot (slow cooker) with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine 32 ounce package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, slightly thawed with 10.75 ounce can condensed cheddar cheese soup, 1 large egg, lightly beaten, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Stir well then spread it in the bottom of the crock pot.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown and crumble 1 pound ground beef along with 1/2 small onion, finely diced. Drain excess grease and put back into the pan.
Stir in 15.5 ounce can sloppy joe sauce.
Spoon sloppy joe mixture over hash brown mixture in crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for about 4 to 4 1/2 hours.
About 10 minutes before the casserole is done cooking, sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover and alllow cheese to melt before serving. Optional: sprinkle with dried parsley flakes for color.
Notes
Shredded hash browns can be substituted for southern style hash browns, which are the smaller cubed potatoes, or you can use the Potatoes O'Brien that have peppers and onion mixed in with the cubed potatoes.
