In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 0.5 cups of melted butter, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add the frozen hash browns to the bowl and gently stir until the hash browns are evenly coated with the mixture.
Transfer the hash brown mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes with 0.25 cups of melted butter. Stir until the cornflakes are evenly coated in the butter.
Sprinkle the buttery cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole to create a crunchy topping.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Heavenly Hash Brown Casserole!
