Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen hash browns
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 1.5 cups sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, 0.5 cups of melted butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until evenly combined.
Add the frozen hash browns to the mixture and stir until all the hash browns are fully coated.
Transfer the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the hash brown mixture, creating a golden crust for the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
