Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Frozen shredded hash browns
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1 cup Diced onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Crushed cornflakes (optional topping)
- 0.25 cup Melted butter (optional topping)
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 sour cream, cream of chicken soup, diced onion, salt, pepper, and 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
Melt 0.5 cup of butter and add it to the bowl, then stir in the frozen hash browns until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
If using the optional cornflake topping, mix crushed cornflakes with 0.25 cup of melted butter and sprinkle over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
