Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and 1 stick of melted unsalted butter. Stir until smooth.
Finely dice the yellow onion and add it to the mixture.
Add shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and stir until evenly combined.
Fold in the frozen shredded hash browns gently, ensuring they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Transfer the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
In a medium bowl, combine crushed cornflakes cereal with 0.25 cup of melted butter, mixing until the cereal is well coated.
Sprinkle the buttery cornflake topping evenly over the hash brown mixture in the baking dish.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
