Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or spoon
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Grater
  • Knife and Cutting Board
  • Foil or plastic wrap

Ingredients
  

For the Casserole:

  • 2 pounds 1 package frozen hashbrown potatoes (shredded or cubed, thawed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion finely diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Topping (Optional):

  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes or Ritz crackers
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or a bit of butter.

Mix the Ingredients:

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

Assemble the Casserole:

  • Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  • If you’re using a topping, mix the crushed cornflakes or Ritz crackers with melted butter and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the casserole.

Bake:

  • Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Cool and Serve:

  • Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps it set and makes slicing easier.
