Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces frozen hash brown potatoes
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups diced onion
- 0.5 cups butter
- 1 cup crushed cornflakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, grated cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and diced onion. Stir until well mixed.
Add the frozen hash brown potatoes to the mixture and fold them in until evenly coated.
Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the crushed cornflakes until the butter is absorbed.
Sprinkle the buttered cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the potato casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
