Ingredients

• 32 ounces Frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
• 6 tablespoons Salted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 10.5 ounces Condensed cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups Sour cream
• 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Salted butter (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened but not browned.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 4

Fold the frozen shredded hash brown potatoes into the mixture, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons of melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs over the top of the potato mixture.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, cheesy deliciousness of your Glorified Potato Casserole!
