Author's Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. This dish is best served within 5 days.

Any leftovers reheat really well, just add a little milk or half and half and stir occasionally while reheating in the microwave on 50% power, or on the stove over medium-low heat.

Not making these in a smoker? Add a 1/2 tsp of liquid smoke to add a smokey flavor without any smoke. Bake in a 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) pre-heated oven or grill for 50-60 minutes, or until sauce is bubbling and golden.

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) using mild hardwood. Grease a grill-safe baking dish or medium foil grill pan. You can also use a 12-inch cast iron skillet.
step 2
Prepare the Barbecue Sweet Rub. In a small bowl, whisk together Dark Brown Sugar (4 Tbsp), Coarse Sea Salt (1 Tbsp), Cracked Black Pepper (2 tsp) , Smoked Paprika (2 tsp) , Simply Organic Garlic Powder (2 tsp) , Simply Organic Onion Powder (2 tsp) , Dry Mustard (1 tsp), and Cayenne Pepper (1/2 tsp) until evenly blended. You can use a fork or the back of a spoon to break up any large brown sugar chunks.
step 3
In a large Dutch oven, add Butter (2 Tbsp) and heat over medium-low heat. Add Yellow Onion (1 cup), and saute until translucent, golden, and tender, stirring frequently (or cook all the way to caramelization).
step 4
Add Garlic (2 cloves) and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently. Turn off the heat and gently stir in the Frozen Shredded Hash Browns (1 pckg), and set aside.
step 5
In a large bowl, combine the Cream of Chicken Soup (1 can), Sour Cream (1 1/2 cups), Chive and Onion Sour Cream (1 cup), Shredded Triple Cheddar Cheese Blend (4 cups), Shredded Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup), 1 Tbsp of Barbecue Sweet Rub and Smoked Paprika (1 Tbsp). Stir until thoroughly mixed.
step 6
Pour the cheese sauce over the hash browns and onions, carefully folding until the potatoes are evenly coated. Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared pan, but don’t pack it down.
step 7
Prepare the Crumb Topping. To Butter (4 Tbsp), stir in the 1 Tbsp Barbecue Sweet Rub and Smoked Paprika (1 Tbsp), then stir in the Ritz® Crackers (1 cup). Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the top of the potato mixture.
step 8
Place pan in smoker and close the lid. Cook for 60-90 minutes, adjusting cooking time as needed so that the potatoes are tender in the middle of the pan, and the top is golden and bubbling around the edges. If the top starts to brown too much, cover with foil until the potatoes have finished cooking.
step 9
Remove from smoker and cover pan with foil to keep warm until ready to serve. Allow sitting for 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, top with Smoked Ham (to taste) or Bacon (to taste).
