Copy Cat – Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole (with BACON!)
I needed something to go with my Ham and Polish Sausage and Sauerkraut I made for Easter dinner this past weekend. I wanted to do something different.
I made this recipe a LONG time ago, based on my friend, Candi’s recommendation.
Candi knows food, she hosts her own food blog called The Devilish Dish.
The last time I made it, I forgot to take a picture.
I ran across the recipe again while looking through potato recipe ideas.
It was good from what I remembered, not that I could compare it to anything?
I have never even been in the door of a Cracker Barrel.
I can’t stand preparing for a big meal when my pantry isn’t organized. So the week before Easter, I gave it a good cleaning/organizing.
Why do children leave empty boxes in the pantry?
One of life’s great mysteries I guess.
While I was gathering the ingredients to throw the casserole together Easter morning, I was in my well-organized pantry, and saw the bacon on the shelf. I decided bacon could only make a good thing better.

Cracker Barrel Hash-brown Casserole is the very first recipe I ever learned how to make for my husband. HE LOVES IT. I have never thought to add bacon to it! I will totally do this next time!!!
I have had this many times and it is delicious. I have not had it with the bacon though. Fabulous idea, you just took it over the top.
