Ingredients

• 32 oz frozen shredded hash browns
• 2 cups diced cooked ham
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0 cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the hash brown mixture and stir to coat everything evenly.

Step 5

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in one tablespoon of olive oil until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sautéed onion to the hash brown mixture and stir well.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the hash brown casserole in an even layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 10

Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy ham hash browns casserole!
