• 1 can Cream of chicken soup
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder

• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen shredded hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.

In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes (or panko breadcrumbs) and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole to create a crunchy topping.

Step 5

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving warm.
