Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen shredded hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, melted butter, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Transfer the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the top.
If adding the optional topping, in a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with 1/4 cup of melted butter. Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to settle and makes it easier to slice.
Serve warm as a side dish or a main course for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Enjoy!
