Ingredients

• 32 oz frozen shredded hash browns
• 2 cups cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups cornflake cereal, crushed
• 1 cup optional cooked bacon crumbles
• 1 cup optional diced cooked ham
• 1 medium optional diced green bell pepper
• 0.25 cup optional chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, melted butter, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Step 3

Fold in the frozen shredded hash browns into the mixture, ensuring all the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 4

If you’d like to use any optional add-ins, such as cooked bacon crumbles, diced ham, diced green bell pepper, or chopped green onions, stir them in at this stage.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the crushed cornflake cereal with 2 tablespoons of melted butter (optional, for extra crunch). Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 7

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
