📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, melted butter, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

3. Fold in the frozen shredded hash browns into the mixture, ensuring all the potatoes are evenly coated.

4. If you’d like to use any optional add-ins, such as cooked bacon crumbles, diced ham, diced green bell pepper, or chopped green onions, stir them in at this stage.

5. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

6. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed cornflake cereal with 2 tablespoons of melted butter (optional, for extra crunch). Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

7. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is bubbly.

8. Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

9. Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Cheesy Funeral Potluck Party Potatoes!
