Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, 1 stick of melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the frozen shredded hash browns to the mixture and stir until the hash browns are evenly coated with the mixture.
Carefully transfer the hash brown mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes with 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the cornflakes are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is hot and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
