Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter (1/2 cup), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Stir in the finely diced onion and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
Add the frozen hashbrowns to the bowl and gently mix until the hashbrowns are fully coated with the creamy mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly using a spatula.
If using, combine the cornflake crumbs and melted butter (2 tablespoons) in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole for added crunch.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
