Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen hash brown potatoes
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup butter
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cups cornflakes
- 0.25 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, melted butter (1/2 cup), diced onion, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the frozen hash brown potatoes to the mixture and gently fold until the potatoes are fully coated with the sauce.
Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a medium bowl, combine the cornflakes with the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter. Toss until the cornflakes are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the cornflake topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
