Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen O'Brien potatoes (diced potatoes with onions and peppers)
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs (for topping)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 cup optional: diced cooked bacon or ham
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the frozen O'Brien potatoes directly to the bowl and stir until the potatoes are evenly coated with the mixture. If using cooked bacon or ham, fold it in at this point.
Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs. Stir until the topping is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the potato mixture, followed by the buttery cornflake or breadcrumb topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly around the edges and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the casserole from the oven, allow it to cool for 5 minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy!
