How to Make Southwest Hash Brown Casserole in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
So, we just returned from vacation. While I love going on vacation, getting back into the swing of things once I return home is not always easy. This momma needed something easy for dinner. I saw a comment from reader Connie M. suggesting adding sausage to my Crock Pot Cheesy Salsa Hash Brown Casserole. While this recipe is not exactly what she had in mind, I am thankful for Ms. Connie’s suggestion! This Crock Pot Southwest Hash Brown Casserole was a huge hit in my my home!
I love how easy this was to throw together. I used my micro cooker to cook up my ground sausage while I got the rest of my ingredients ready. It was seriously less than 10 minutes to throw it together since I did not have to stand over a stove and watch my sausage. If you do not have a micro cooker already, I would recommend getting one. I actually have two! I have a small one and a large one. We use them all the time in my house.
What You Will Need
Ingredients Needed
- 30 oz bag frozen shredded hash browns
- 2.5 cups chunky salsa
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
- 2.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- taco sauce
Equipment Needed
- Skillet (or micro cooker)
- Colander or strainer
- Large spoon (I used a wooden spoon)
- Casserole Crock Pot or 6 quart crock pot
Time Needed

I’m originally from NM and we make this every Christmas brunch. We add 1 finely chopped jalapeño, (leave out the salsa in the slow cooker) and 6 eggs mixed with some heavy whipping cream, and cook on low 6-7 hours (overnight). I set my instant pot to slow cooker mode and delay its start so it cooks while we sleep. Sometimes instead of/ or in addition to breakfast sausage, we add chorizo spicy sausage.The key is the toppings we serve along side: sour cream, green/red/yellow chopped onions, cilantro, hot sauces, avocado, lime wedges and warmed small flour tortillas.

This sounds awesome in and of itself. Could you add eggs also? If so, how many and how much added time do you think that would do? – Thanks.

Hi Pam!I haven’t tried adding eggs to this recipe. If I did, I would probably add in six eggs that have been beaten. The cooking time should be similar. Watch it closely the first time you make it to adjust the time as needed for the eggs to set up. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!

Thank you for your delicious recipes. My husband is the master chef in our house and follows recipes to the exact measurement. I raised 3 children and cooked by “throwing everything together when the school bus dropped them off”. I will substitute one ingredient for another if I don’t have something on hand. My husband will drive to Publix for a stalk of celery. Anyway, he loves your recipes and does them justice. So, please email your recipes to him also. Please don’t quit on me, but I think it would be easier if he received your emails also. He asks me everyday “any new recipes?” He’s a pharmacist and IT Specialist, so you see what I mean by perfectionist.. I’m an RN,CANP and IV Specialist and instructor. Thank you.Reply
We love hearing from you, it totally makes our day! Please remember, our comment section is much like our dinner table... You don't have to like everything we serve up, but you do have to use your manners.
