Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Frozen hash brown potatoes
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Butter, melted
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Crushed cornflakes or potato chips (optional topping)
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted (for topping)
Instructions
Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or use a crockpot liner for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a creamy sauce.
Add the frozen hash brown potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped onion to the bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Pour the potato mixture into the prepared crockpot, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the casserole is bubbling.
If you prefer a crunchy topping, in a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes or potato chips with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. About 30 minutes before the casserole is done, sprinkle the topping over the casserole and allow it to cook uncovered for the remaining time.
Once cooked, turn off the crockpot and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Scoop and serve warm as a delicious side dish. Enjoy!
