For the Topping:

Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.

  • Prepare the Casserole Mixture:

  • Bake:
    Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.

  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting, creamy chicken and hashbrown casserole!
