Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cups cornflakes cereal
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 stick unsalted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dice the yellow onion into small pieces. Melt 1 stick of butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sautéed onion to the bowl with the cheese mixture.
Fold the frozen shredded hash brown potatoes into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it into an even layer.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 0.5 stick of butter. Crush the cornflakes cereal into coarse crumbs and mix them with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the buttered cornflakes evenly over the top of the potato mixture to create the crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
