Ingredients

Scale
  • 30 oz frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine thawed hashbrowns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, chopped onion, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir in 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese until well mixed.
  4. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with melted butter (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
  6. Top with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce to the mixture.
  • To make ahead, prepare the casserole up to step 6, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake as directed before serving.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
  • For added flavor, mix in 1 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon or sautéed mushrooms.
