Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen hash brown potatoes
- 2 cups sour cream
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 cups crushed butter crackers
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, finely diced onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
Add the frozen hash brown potatoes to the mixture and stir until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers with the 4 tablespoons of melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery cracker mixture evenly over the top of the potato mixture in the casserole dish.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy with friends and family on game day!
