Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter (1 stick), shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Fold the frozen hash browns into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Transfer the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes cereal with the remaining melted butter (1/4 cup) to create a buttery topping.
Sprinkle the cornflake topping evenly over the hash brown mixture.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
