1. Prepare the Casserole Base
- Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray or use a crockpot liner for easier cleanup.
- Add the sausage chunks, frozen hashbrowns, diced onion, and 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese directly into the slow cooker.
2. Mix the Creamy Sauce
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of soup, milk, sour cream, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well blended.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the sausage and hashbrown mixture in the slow cooker. Gently stir to combine and coat all the ingredients.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
3. Slow Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the hashbrowns are tender.
- Once cooked through, turn the heat to warm and let it sit for 10–15 minutes to slightly firm up before serving.
4. Serve
- Scoop generous portions into bowls or onto plates.
- Serve alongside a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or Texas-style garlic toast for a full comfort food feast.
