Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth.
Add the frozen shredded hash browns to the mixture and stir to evenly coat the hash browns.
Fold in most of the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions, saving a small portion for garnish.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
If using the optional topping, mix the crushed cornflakes with the melted butter in a small bowl and sprinkle the mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with reserved crumbled bacon and green onions.
Serve warm and enjoy!
