Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Frozen hash browns (shredded)
- 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
- 16 ounces Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Crushed cornflakes
- 3 tablespoons Melted unsalted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, melted butter, finely diced onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Add the frozen hash browns to the bowl and gently fold them into the mixture until fully coated. Be careful not to break them up too much.
Transfer the hash brown mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a smaller bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with the melted butter for the topping. Sprinkle the buttery crumbs evenly over the hash brown mixture.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
