Ingredients

• 32 oz Frozen shredded hash browns
• 4 tbsp Salted butter
• 1 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 10.5 oz Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 cup Optional: Cornflake crumbs or crushed crackers for topping
• 2 tbsp Optional: Melted butter for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth.

Step 4

Add the sautéed onion and the frozen shredded hash browns (no need to thaw) to the bowl. Stir until the hash browns are evenly coated with the mixture.

Step 5

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

Step 6

For an optional topping, combine cornflake crumbs (or crushed crackers) with melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture over the casserole.

Step 7

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy, creamy, homemade hash brown casserole!
