- seasonings – Salt, Pepper, Thyme, Poultry Seasoning
- frozen diced hash browns

Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup
Making your own cream of chicken soup is so good and easier than you think! You probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry already! If you are in a pinch and want to use store-bought canned soup, that’s totally fine! Just make sure to add in enough liquid to get up to 2 cups. So 1 can of soup + water/milk/liquid of choice equal 2 cups…make sense?
What is Bouillon Paste?
Chicken bouillon paste is similar to bouillon cubes but in a paste form. It’s found in jars right next to the boxes of chicken stock. If you don’t have this ingredient, simply use either powdered or cubed bouillon (enough for 2 cups of liquid according to directions on the packaging) OR 1 cup of chicken stock instead of water and add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning.
How to make Hash Brown Potato Casserole with Sausage
For full recipe details, including ingredients needed and measurements, see the printable recipe card down below. Here is step by step what you can expect when making this recipe:
1. Make the Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Sprinkle in flour and whisk. Cook 1 minute. Stir in water and whisk to remove any lumps. Simmer until thick, then stir in milk and chicken bouillon paste plus the seasonings. The sauce should thicken slightly at this point. Taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.
Pro Tip: You can alternatively use canned cream of chicken soup. Just make sure to add in enough liquid to get up to 2 cups. So can of soup + water/milk/liquid of choice equal 2 cups.
2. Add Everything to the Crockpot
Place the hashbrowns, smoked sausage, onion and cheese together in a lightly greased crockpot. Pour over condensed soup and stir. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or until potatoes are soft and sausages are hot.
How to Serve Hash Brown Potato Casserole With Smoked Sausage
Add a little more cheese to melt over the top once you’re ready to eat! Do you see what I mean by easy? Serve hot.
Storing Crockpot Hashbrown Casserole
Any leftovers you have should be cooled to room temperature and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat, simply portion out the amount you need then pop into the microwave until heated through, occasionally stirring.
How to freeze Sausage Hash Brown Casserole
Luckily for you, this dish freezes well for even longer storage. Allow casserole to cool to room temperature. Store in a freezer-safe, airtight container and into the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, allow to sit in the fridge overnight before portioning out and reheating.
Crockpot Hashbrown Casserole FAQ
Why is my hash brown casserole mushy?
If your hash brown casserole is mushy, you’ve either cooked it too long or stirred it too much. Ensure that you follow the recommended cooking time and temperature specified in the recipe.
Do I have to thaw frozen hash browns for casserole?
For this preparation in the crockpot, you do not need to thaw your hash browns since they will be cooking low and slow for a few hours. If you are in a hurry, I would suggest thawing them to speed up the cook time.

It was extremely complicated to try to print out your recipe because of the ads popping in and out. I failed!
I double this recipe every time I make it. ( It makes great leftovers for my husband on the farm). It is by far my son’s favorite! It is very hearty! I have never left a review before, but I felt that I needed to, since this is a top star recipe!
can I use canned soup Instead of the homemade? if so how much?
Pro Tip: You can alternatively use canned cream of chicken soup. Just make sure to add in enough liquid to get up to 2 cups. So can of soup + water/milk/liquid of choice equal 2 cups.
This is what I do 🙂
Oh my gosh this recipe is so good! Reminds me of scallop potatoes and ham! Very tasty and easy to throw together!
Instead of using frozen hash browns I grated five potatoes. Grated a block of cheddar cheese. Used cream of chicken two small containers. Added some poultry seasoning, and add some chicken stock. It turns out really good. All my boys love it. (I make it the way it calls for just tweak it a bit.)
I added mushrooms and jalapeños and some seasonings to it and WOW. So good. I’m not a cook by any stretch, but I’m trying to learn and this was easy to follow and turned out amazing. Thank you!
This looks delicious but I don’t own a crock pot. Is it possible to cook this on the stove on low heat? And, if so, please tell me for how long?
Thank you ?
Julie
This was a hit for dinner tonight. Was so glad to have something that was quick to put together and everyone enjoyed. Will be making again. Didn’t make any changes to the recipe. Love that you make your own sauce for this. Thank you!
Can this be cooked overnight on low in the crockpot? Sounds delicious!
The only problem I see happening is the hash browns would be overcooked by morning, leaving you with mush.
Can I use almond milk versus regular milk. And can I use plant based butter instead of real butter? Big dairy allergy
Yes, I don’t see why that wouldn’t work in this recipe!
Does it come out ok cooking on low for 8 hrs?
I wouldn’t recommend it! The potatoes just get too mushy.
I’m new to this type of sausage. What brand and type do you use? I’ve looked at them and get overwhelmed by all the options! Thank you!
I usually get a Hillshire Farm brand of smoked sausage. They all basically taste the same, so any of them will do.
Hi! My question is about the thyme for the soup portion. Is that thyme leaves or ground thyme? I used ground because that was what I had, but the thyme flavor was a little overwhelming for me. Thanks!
yes, use thyme leaves for sure.
Was wondering if you could use egg instead of the cream of chicken? If so, how many eggs would you use? I was thinking like 12 and add some milk to them
Made this for dinner tonight in my Instant Pot.
Came out good. I added the cream of chicken and chicken broth to make approximately 2 cups liquid to the bottom of pot. Then potatoes and sausage on top. Set for 6 minutes on manual. Quick release then added cheese.
Potatoes were quite soft, so I would do less time.
This recipe is toddler approved. My almost four year old gobbled up three servings and stated it is one of his favorites. Great to make on a Sunday and easy to reheat thought the busy work week for my family!
I love this recipe. So easy and quick but yummy too!!
This is another recipe of yours I’ll have to try. I love ALL your recipes.
I’ve been eyeing this one for a while! I think I’ll finally make this for our weekend getaway at the lake! 🙂 Glad I saw it again to remind me!
I’m a college student looking for affordable meals to make and I tried this recipe out…the roommates and I are in love.
I need to try this! It looks so good and simple ☺️.
Can I use almond milk?
Try the packet store brand country gravy mix with one cup milk and 1 cup milk. It has pepper added to it already. It is great on mashed potatoes and should add a great flavor. I am not a fan of canned cream of chicken soup flavor.
[…] Found on LaurensLatest […]
I used the sausages, shredded cheese, thawed hash browns, a full can of cream of chicken (“Family-Size can, 22.6 oz), a full container of chicken broth (32 oz.), added the 4 oz sour cream (mentioned by a poster), maybe tsp (or so) of poultry flavoring, and probably a tsp of onion powder (also recommended by another poster, in lieu of actual onions). I guesstimate my teaspoons, because I sprinkled rather than measured. At 3:30 in the morning, I was not about to be specific.
Combined and simmered the cream of chicken, chicken broth, sour cream, and poultry flavoring., before adding it to the cheese, hash browns, and sausage.
Set for High for 3 hours. Probably should cook High for 90 minutes, then the remainder on low, as 3 hours later, the recipe is boiling.
I woke up at 3:30 AM, in order to surprise my husband with ready-made breakfast. It is DELICIOUS! And in my case, this is certainly more than 6 helpings! I was testing this on the family to see if it was something easy I could make for our church potlucks.
SUCCESS! Highly recommend. And I’m keeping this in my family’s rotation.

Is it possible to make this in a casserole dish in the oven? If so…. How long and would you change anything?

Could I use fresh sausage instead of smoked? Would I need to cook it first?
As long as its fully cooked, then yes!

Can this be cook on low instead of high. I would love to be able to put it on and let it cook while I’m gone.
Yes, but the only concern is overcooking the hashbrowns to basically mush. It can be done, but you have to catch it before that happens.
Nice comfort food recipe. I used fresh red potatoes as I didn’t have any pre-chopped frozen hash on hand & half cooked them in the microwave before adding them to the crock pot. I also used Cajun green onion sausage and added some fresh banana peppers & pimentos from my garden. My husband loves it! Thank you for sharing. I’m adding your cream of soup recipe to my recipe box.
Wayyyyyy to much SALT
My husband hates onion. Would it be okay to leave those out? If so, would I need to lessen the amount of soup? I can get by sometimes with using a little onion powder on him. Do you think I could add onion powder to the soup mixture?
Nothing really needs to change if you omit the onion. You can add onion powder (not to be confused with onion salt!) if you’d like, but not necessary.
I have been going through the recipes you have shared and love them all and tried many. This one is easy and delicious ! Husband loves it.
This looks soooooo good. Looks like a great one to make for Christmas morning.
I might try this as a brunch recipe. Instead of soup, use eggs scrambled for liquid, plenty of cheese. Even might slip in a few fr[zen vegetables.
Thanks for the ideas.

This sounds yummy! I would love to use my Instant Pot to make this. Do you know how I would convert the recipe with using my Instant Pot? Thanks.
Has anyone doubled the recipe? If so, did you cook it on high for 3 hours or on high for 6 hours or ____.
nice if you could add nutritional facts to your recipes otherwise I’m not cooking them
My family loves this quick and easy recipe! I make it at least once or twice a month. I double the amount of smoked sausage so there’s a more equal amount of meat to cheese and there’s still plenty of cheesy sauce to cover all the extra meat and cheese. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe.

I make something similar that is a dish. The hash browns are frozen and cook 4 to 5 hours on low. I would think thawed ones would become mushy if cooked on high for 3 hours. I would use 2 cans of cream of chicken w8th no added liquid and brown sausage with onions first to do flavor. Adding some Cajun seasoning when browning sausage might be good too.
This is great. But one question, can this be made in a 9X13 casserole dish in the oven?
For tonight
Any suggestions to keep the potatoes from getting mushy?
Try using cubed, raw potatoes instead of the premade, precooked hash browns.Or don’t cook it as long. Some crockpots are much hotter than others.
Have you tried to Brown the potatoes in a pan prior to putting the ingredients together?
No, never have tried that before.
Thank you for telling us what to use instead of chicken bullion paste!! Will be helpful if I want to make this on a whim and our little grocery store doesn’t have it.
Can I use canned cream of chicken soup instead? How many cans would I need if I was able to do so?
I don’t buy condensed soups usually, so I haven’t tested this recipe with a cream of chicken soup. But if I were to guess, I’d say 1!

If you use can soup do you still use all the other things also
Is a crick pot same as a slow cooker?
Lets try it.
Your sausage & hashbrown casserole sounds really good. I will definitely try it soon. I love easy & this recipe is definitely easy. My advice to you when traveling is to pray & ask Jesus to protect you & get you to your destination safely. He will, believe me.
I made it tonight for dinner. I used turkey sausage, diced hash browns w/ peppers & onions & fat free cr. of chicken soup (oops, didn’t read the part about adding water, but it turned out just fine without the extra liquid). I steamed some broccoli in the microwave & stirred it into our individual servings. By steaming it separately & adding it later, it didn’t get mushy. So, yummy & made it more healthy by adding the turkey sausage & broccoli! Super easy & quick! My husband put it all together when he got home from work & it was ready to eat when I got home!
Thanks… Great option…
I can’t wait to try this. And I love the fact that you took the time to make the cream of chicken soup from scratch. So much more healthier than the canned.
I would suggest maybe cheddar cheese soup as a substitute for cream of chicken and the cheese. I make a cheesy potatoes recipe and it has 1/4 cup melted butter, 16 oz sour cream, onions, hasbrowns, and it is really good. I never thought of smoked sausage added but seeing this I may try it and try this one, too.
This sounds delicious. I will definitely be making this winter to keep warm!
Well, I don’t have the ingredients to make the homemade cream soup but I do have a can each of cream of chicken and cream of potato soup. I beat that would be tasty as well and not be overwhelmingly chicken flavored. I want to taste the sausage too! Options?
If it only calls for 2 teaspoon of chicken paste, why am I using 2 cups of liquid if I need to use the cube instead?
Must try!
can you use canned cream of chicken soup and if so how much
I’m going to try it with cream of mushroom soup
Can I use 2% milk
Thanks
sure!
I bet it would also taste yummy if you put in already fried bacon and crumbled it. Fall isn’t too far away so I am going to try this out then.
What is the cook time if I set it on low?
I would like to set it up in the Crock Pot before bed and wake to breakfast.
You can give it a try. My only concern is the hash browns will become mushy even though you had this set to low.

Delicious
My family loves this. Sometimes just use onion flakes. Yummy, quick, easy dish!
Good
Amazing recipe. I’m going to try it with Zoodles! For the flight, bring Vicks vaporub to put under your nose. Take some anti-gas the night before your flight plus the anti-gas & an Advil a couple hours prior to flight. Wear a sports bra and loose clothes, bring your own small pillow, slippers or flip flops, heavy socks, earplugs, sleep mask & a small fleece blanket (unless u are in 1st class). After your dinner meal, they start to turn the lights down. A small glass of wine, if you want with dinner. Go brush your teeth, then put on socks, place slippers underneath seat (in case u need to get up later), apply Vicks under nose and a dab of Chapstick on lips, hand lotion & face cream. Put on mask, earplugs & blanket, slightly turn on left side and lodge pillow where it’s comfortable. Sleep as long as u can. When it’s breakfast time, use bathroom to freshen up with some face & body wipes, slip into a simple dress & flats, put on red lipstick and get off that plane! I braid my hair before I go to sleep, and fluff when I get up & put in a French twist or bun. It’s Paris, after all!
Can I make the sauce the night before and then put it in the crock pot in the morning to cook
Sure! I’ve never tried doing that, but it should just work fine. Just be sure to refrigerator it overnight.
Looks easy and good.

I think if you want to try a healthier version you could use either spaghetti squash or shredded zucchini instead of the potatoes and the kids would never know the difference.

how much cream of chicken soup does this make?
Hi Lauren! My OH has requested that I make this recipe for him! However, I’m having one small issue – frozen Hash Browns of the sort that you use are not available in my country! We only get frozen hash browns that are pre-formed into patties. Do you think I could just cube up some waxy potato and use that instead? Should I pre-cook this in any way? Or does it really have to be frozen cubed hash browns? Sorry for the awkward question!
Grandkids will love this!
Dad,
I mixed one cup chicken broth with one can cream of chicken soup and poured over the onion, sausage and cheese mixture.
I want to cook it over night for Easter Breakfast at church. Cook on low for how long?
Sounds so good. I used shreeded hashbrowns and added corn. House is starting to fill up with the smell. Can’t wait to eat it!
THIS IS A DELICIOUS, HEARTY MEAL FOR A BUSY WEEKNIGHT. IT HAS BECOME A REGULAR IN THE FAMILY ROTATION, THANKS SO MUCH!
It doesn’t say if you cook the sausages slightly or at all. Looks very good so I’d like to try it.
Here is the recipe. don’t use the wierd things, use the onion though, check the freezers for the cheese, you may have to go to the store. It says put on high for 3 hours. Thanks,
This recipe is amazing! I loved the pictures and the flavor is even better!!! Great comfort food!!!
I was searching for a slow cooker recipe with smoked sausage, and came across your recipe! It is in the crockpot now, and it smells wonderful! We can’t wait to try it. Also, glad I found your website, since I am also interested in Food, Family and Travel!
What if I will be gone from the house for longer than 3 hours while I need to cook this dish? Will it work the same if I put it on LOW for 6 hours? Or what is your recommendation?
Thanks!!
Do you think this would work in the oven, instead of a crock pot? If so, at what temperature and for how long?
Have you tried freezing leftovers? If so did it freeze well?
Tried this tonight per my daughter’s request. It was good however the thyme & poultry seasoning was over bearing in the soup. Will definitely cut back on them next time I try it.
Yummy
Sounds delicious and going to make.
Using just bouillon do I still need to add all the seasons and flour? Or just that according to the package?
This is an excellent recipe and thanks for posting. I didn’t have all of the exact ingredients so I used potatoes O’Brien and pepper jack cheese. I cook on low for about six hours . Delicious .
Do you think this would freeze well? I’m in a freezer meal exchange group & thought this could be a good one since it uses frozen potatoes.
Cani just use a can of cream of chicken soup
I had the hubby grill the smoked sausage and it was the bomb!!!
Did you know that there are liners for crockpot you can buy them in grocery stores, that way you do not have to scrub the pot. I just discovered this. You can lift the food right out of the pot and pot is clean. Check it out
Maybe I did something wrong but its been about 4 hours now and my potatoes are still hard…. Good potatoes… Relatively new crock pot and everything else is looking good but those potatoes are giving me hell.
Just put this in the crock pot, using canned heart healthy cream of chicken soup enough water to make 2 cups as suggested. I also tried one of those Reynolds crock pot liners to help with the clean up. I will post the results when it’s done.
This sounds great for nights when both boys have basketball games! I’m going to give it a shot on thursday.
Added this to my recipe book
Chicken or Beef paste is called Chicken Base in the stores. They come in small jars.
First of all, it’s not a crockpot- it’s a ‘slow cooker.’ Keep it simple: use canned soup. Rather than mushy hash browns, I prefer the appearance and texture of tater tots. Also, use red onion for added color and a little sweetness.
I make something similar (potato cass). Try adding a can of corn (drain it first). It’s great.
How long would you cook this in the oven for and at what temperature, if you don’t have a crockpot?
Christmas morning????
sounds good
Company breakfast
looks good
Looks so good!
Sound pretty good, but I don’t like onions…I also have to be careful any sausage I use doesn’t contain beef…since beef bothers my stomach.
I tried this a few weeks ago and it was tasty! My 4yo ate it without complaints (ALWAYS a bonus). I like the option for using canned (super quick and easy) or homemade (still pretty quick and easy and HOMEMADE!) soup mix. Thank you! I’m adding this to my lunch schedule this week again.
looks Delicious!!! can it be doubled
I love you Lauren!!!! Lol!
Could you please list the measurements/amounts for the ingredients in your Smoked Sausage Hasbrown Casserole
In my crockpot now! Used jalapeno sausage, corn instead of potatoes, and cream of mushroom soup because it’s what I had on hand 🙂
Can this be made on low overnight? Delicous by the way! 🙂
I made this exactly how the recipe shows and my hash brows were mushy. Are they suppose to be like that?
Maybe your crockpot cooks faster than mine? Mine were not mushy.
We have made this 3 times now. I added a small can of green chilies and use cream of mushroom soup. thank you!!!
I have made this many times. It is equally good with diced ham.
This hashbrown sausage casserole souhded so good, Im trying it out today! But I pre-cook the sausage nd onions. I don’t like the taste of raw onions and wa mñn t to cut down on the gease.
Brand name for the chicken bouillon paste is “Better than Bouillon” I use it for all my chicken recipes. Wonderful stuff…
Thats what I use!!
Mmm
Could I use diced potatoes instead of frozen
This looks like something that could encourage me to get out of bed if I prepared it and put the slow cooker on a timer! But I’m in the UK and can’t imagine our frozen hash browns being used like that. Ours are two-inch triangles of grated potato that are browned a little before they’re frozen. Are they like that in the US?
No, ours are like half inch squares or completely shredded. You can try dicing regular potatoes into small squares instead?!
Could u put in crockpot on low for 6 hrs?
I need to cook this on low as I’m at work all day, how long should I cook for on low?
Use nose canceling ear buds and a good comfortable and contoured sleep mask. Pick a window seat. Download some nature sounds and read a book. That usually does the trick for me. You might also consider a good neck pillow, another for lumbar support and compression socks especially if youre not in first class or business class. Hope that helps.
goingout to by all these thing and have them for tomorrow nite dinner thank you for a good meal.
Wow, this sounds wonderful! Am going to do it for sure! Thanks!
I LOVE YOU for making this homemade condensed soup recipe! I loathe using canned soups!
We always have a Christmas morning casserole brunch and I am always looking for an easy dish to make. Will definitely try this. Thanks
Would this be safe to freeze?
I tried this yesterday and it’s very good. One question, I cooked on high for 3 hours and my hash browns turned into mashed potatoes. Is that supposed to happen?
I made this exactly as is and it came out soupy and wilted looking
any way to estimate the calories per say 4 or 6 oz serving?
Saw this shared on Facebook! Can’t wait to try it…. Fixing it for dinner tonight. Btw… I tried to pin it to my Pinterest board and it just linked to one of the pictures on the site for this recipe…. Didn’t have where you could get to the recipe through the pin. Just thought you should know! Thanks again for this recipe!!
Can you use canned cream of chicken condensed soup instead of the homemade? If so, what id the amount or how many cans to this recipes?
Can you mix scrambled eggs to this to make it a breakfast? If so how much eggs would you use?
Help!!! Can I bake in oven instead???? Need to do this tonight!!!
I am definitely going to try this.Thank you for sharing?
How much sodium is in it, How many MG of sodium?
Thank You
Garry
Looks tasty
If u di t want to make homemade cream of chicken condensed soup do u just use 1 can of cream of chicken?
While reading the recipe, I had a wild idea of this being a breakfast type of meal, just replace the home made cream chicken soup with (?) number of beaten eggs, and maybe add some diced green & red bell pepper for color / flavor.
Got to try this
Tips from someone who flew godzillions of long haul airmiles in a career that spanned 45 years.nOlive Bach flower remedy put 5-10 drops into one of those small bottles of water and sip regularly. I suspect the hydration is part of the results, but not all.
Change into light loose clothing so you have nothing tight constricting flow of blood, energy or other body fluids, and you can move around easily.
Walk around every hour (unless asleep) and do some stretching exercises as well.
Thanks for making your recipe so I could print it. Really sounds delicious !!!
Could you just add diced potatoes instead of the frozen ones?
this was really good. I made it for lunch, and my husband even thought he would eat it for dinner again…
Only thing I changed was using O’Brien hash browns
This looks so good and easy to make. I plan on making this this weekend,Saturday for sure.Thanks for having this recipe.

Jars of chicken soup base next to boulion cubes at store
I’ll be making this for breakfast this weekend for the grandkids.
Hey, do you think I could use a can of cream of onion instead of chicken? Or maybe a can of condensed cheddar cheese soup?
Sounds good
Pumpkin cobbler. So good. Just not big enough have you ever double it ??would love to make 9 by 13 inch pan. Can’t wait to try sausage one.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I have it in my crockpot right now and can hardly wait to eat some. I was also thrilled to have a recipe for homemade condensed chicken soup. Thanks again!
Made this tonight. Hubby said it needs more kielbasa and I agree. Maybe 20 oz or even double. I think I may add frozen peas or mixed veggies to try to get some vegetables in there, although it is delicious by itself. I used canned cream of chicken (reduced fat) mixed with slightly more than a can of milk. Definitely fits our lifestyle too, as I need slow cooker recipes that can either cook ALL DAY on low or 3 hours or less. I am gone at work from 7:30-3:30 and my husband doesn’t get home until 6:30pm, which eliminates a lot of crock recipes unless I leave it sitting on my counter prior to cooking for several hours (using a light timer), which is not a very safe option. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious. I used 2 cans cream of chicken with 2 can water and 1 can milk. I will be making this again!
Can i use cream of celery soup instead
of the chicken?
its so yummy thank u for shareing
This look yummy but my significant other is allergic to chicken and was wondering what would I use in replacement of the chicken items?
I think you could use vegetable bullion paste or granules for the cream of soup.
This is whats for dinner tonight! I just used cream of chicken soup from a can and added a cup of milk. I also used diced ham versus the sausage and it tastes so so good! Definitely one I will make again and take to potlucks.
Well I don’t know about the flight, but I saw some good advice in a movie once. (I think it was Diehard 1) When you get there, if jet lag is really getting to you and you’re finding it hard to relax and get to sleep, just take off your shoes and scrunch them through the carpet and close your eyes and pretend you’re in the back yard scrunching them through the grass… If you can smell the grass, It’ll relax you so much you’ll be able to get right to sleep…Works for me every time…
Fists with your toes! Most definitely Die Hard ?
Sounds really good.
wonder if throwing a (drained) can veggie in this would make a difference??
Which hashbrowns do you use? The country style (little squares) or the shredded? Thanks.
This looks so good! I might be craving it until I make it!
Looks wonderful am going to try this, my husband said I hope tonight. I hope I can find the recipe when I get home.
HI, I was wondering if I cooked these on low for say 6 hours if the potatoes could be frozen.
I was also wondering the same if I could use frozen hash browns and cook longer???
I think it should work, just be sure to not overcook so the potatoes don’t turn to mush!
Hi, Not familiar with bouillon paste, It is with the bouillon cubes in grocery store?
sounds good, but wonder how it would taste with Broccoli added. To lighten it up a bit. Will have to give it a try. Thanks.
do u think I could use brats? Have brats in the freezer that I have to use
Thanks, this looks yummy. With three sons who are always hungry I will try this. As to the red-eye flight. Try to get on Paris time as quickly as possible. Sleep on the plane if you can. Enjoy! It is a beautiful city full of so much history. Safe travels.
Since you are now in Paris, I have to assume you survived the red-eye flight and now I need your suggestions on how you did that. I am heading to Africa in a couple of weeks and one leg is L-O-N-G, so I will need to sleep for sure. Help?!
PS… I am totally making this recipe when my kiddos come home for my Dad’s 90th birthday… 3 days before I leave on my trip!
Here ya go!!!
I like this
A good crock pot meal
This looks amazing! Could you use just canned cream of chicken soup? If so would you know about how much to use?
I made this for dinner and it’s really good! I made it exactly as shown in the recipe, except I just did the bouillon cube as suggested if I didn’t have the chicken bouillon paste, and I didn’t add thyme separately because it was in the poultry seasoning. It’s pretty good! However I have a suggestion….don’t add the poultry seasoning to the cream of chicken. The flavors clash with the smoked sausage. I think pepper and a little garlic salt would be better! The chicken flavor from the bouillon adds good enough flavor!
Do I cook the sausage first?
The smoked sausage is already cooked, so when you slice it up, it just needs to be heated through!
If you make with bouillon cubes do you still add the other amont of water?
Yummy
o you think I could use an egg slurry intead of the cream of chicken to make it a breakfast cassarole
This may seem like a silly question, but how do I go about defrosting the hashbrowns?
Pull them out of the freezer and refrigerate 24-36 hours before!
We love this recipe. So easy to make and so good. Love having leftovers of this.
Where do I find chicken bouillon paste?
the grocery store, next to the liquid chicken stocks.
What is chicken bouillon paste? Thanks.
Sounds delicious!!! How much canned condensed soup would I use, if I didn’t do the homemade soup? thank you!
I used two cups canned soup because I happened to have some on hand and it worked great.
Sounds delicious!! Could you make it with “real” potatoes?
Yes, you can either use the canned diced new potatoes, just drain them first, or you can dice whatever kind of potato you want to use. As long as they’re diced to the same size as the frozen ones they’ll be tender after three hours in the crockpot.
cant wait till I try this sounds yummy! I think I’ll use the turkey sausage, little healthier. Love crockpot recipes thanks for sharing!
Have a great trip!! Paris would be awesome! I love this crockpot meal. My family would devour this and I love using a homemade condensed soup!
OM, Looks so great! Have a great amazing awesome safe trip 🙂
How do you think it would taste without onions? No one in my family likes onions, but I’ve discovered some recipes just don’t work without them. It sounds like it would taste great, if we can do it without onions.
I just use onion powder.
Want to try this
I’ve never thought to make my own condensed cream soups, thank you for including that in the recipe – love anything to get away from prepared/packaged foods.
I love crockpot meals especially ones where you set it and forget it! Thanks for including your homemade condensed soup recipe too! <3
Sounds like a great meal. I will try it soon.
Where do you buy chicken bouillon paste and what are its ingredients, please?
Look where you find the cubes
https://wonderfullymadeanddearlyloved.com/concentrated-chicken-stock-paste-thm/ Here is the recipe to make your own
Sorry, I meant chicken bouillon paste? What would be the substitution? Chicken bouillon granules?
This recipe sounds great. Question for you though, what is Chicken Bouillon paste? You have an asterisk by it on your recipe.
Thanks!
They make what’s called “better than boullion” they have chicken and beef. I use both all the time
Me too!
I also use both better than boullion and I make this and I put frozen vegetables in it ! Taste great!
I use Better than Boullion. It’s usually right there by by the other instant chicken cubes and powder in the soup stock broth area.
The brand name is, “Better Than Bouillon”, and it’s found with the chicken , beef, and vegetable stock and broth in the grocery store. I keep it on hand in every flavor!
This looks so wonderful!
I’m an Oregonian studying in the UK, so I’ve made the flight loads of times! Make sure you wear something warm, because the planes are always far too cold and you’ll want to sleep. Don’t bother bringing too many things to do, because most airlines have wonderful onDemand-type screens with lots of free movies and TV shows. The best thing you can do for yourself is just to rest and sleep if you can. When I last made the flight, I swear the 10 hours only felt like two. I couldn’t believe I was suddenly on the other side of the world!
Also, bring some snacks! They should give you plenty of food and drinks, but it’s always nice to be able to eat when you’re hungry instead of waiting for the dinner service to come around.
Paris is lovely and if you’re planning on using a taxi to get to your hotel, get the number before you go and call them when you get there. The taxi drivers can be a bit aggressive when trying to get customers (especially American ones) from airports and train stations.
One final thing – if you want to adjust to the time difference as quickly as possible, then eat at the correct time in Paris. It helps your body’s clock to adjust.
Have a wonderful time and a safe journey!
This looks so good…I know what I’m bringing to my next potluck! I love that there are no cream soups!
Pinned!
Can I cook this on low? It started on high
This looks amazing! My thoughts though what if you made sausage gravy instead of the cream of chicken, and kinda turned this into a breakfast casserole? We go camping all the time and I’m trying to figure out breakfast ideas.
Ohhh interesting! I bet that would be pretty tasty!
It’s delicious that way I’ve tried it
Hi Kristine. Just wondering if you tried this as a breakfast casserole and how it turned out?
Can I use cream of chicken soup
I used cream of chicken from a can, used chicken broth, and added about 4 oz of sour cream to the pot. It was a hit with my kids.
how much chicken broth did you use?
I’m wondering if I could cook this in an Instapot?
The potatoes would turn to mush in an instantpot. Maybe try everything but the last little bit of cheese and potatoes first and add them in at the end using the cook/saute function?
cream of chicken soup is top on the list of ingredients
At the top of ingredients it tells you how to make the cream of chicken soup. If we used canned how much is recommended? Thank you
I believe she says if you use a can of condensed soup add another can of your liquid. Ie milk or water or a cup of bouillon.
Oh yum!! This was a big hit with our family. I used shredded hash browns instead of cubed and browned the sausage first.
There ARE cream soups….. cream of chicken soup….or am I missing something?
