Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen shredded hash browns
- 1 cup sour cream
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon parsley, fresh and chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter, sharp cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well to create a creamy mixture.
Add the frozen shredded hash browns and finely chopped onion to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the hash browns are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
Transfer the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with two tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs evenly on top of the hash brown mixture to create the crunchy topping.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Carefully remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the casserole for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy this glorified hash browns casserole as a side dish or a hearty main!
