Ingredients
1 bag (30 oz) frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
2 cups sour cream
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup crushed cornflakes mixed with 2 tbsp melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Warm your oven to 350F and prepare your baking dish.
Mix together the sour cream, soup, butter, onion, seasonings, and cheese in a big bowl.
Gently stir in the hashbrowns until everything is nicely coated.
Spread this mixture into your greased dish.
Sprinkle the cornflake topping over the casserole.
Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes until it’s bubbly and golden.
Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure every strand of hashbrown is coated in the creamy mixture. This ensures that each bite is as flavorful and delicious as the last.
Look for those telltale signs of bubbling around the edges of the casserole and a beautifully golden-brown topping. This indicates that the casserole is heated through and the flavors have harmonized.
While the butter helps the cornflakes crisp up, avoid over-mixing the topping into the hashbrowns before baking. Sprinkle it on just before it goes into the oven for maximum crunch.
A well-greased baking dish is crucial for easy serving and to prevent any sticking. A light coat of cooking spray or butter works wonderfully.
Don’t skip the resting time! It allows the casserole to firm up slightly, making it much easier to scoop and serve neat portions.
