Ingredients
- 1 2 pound package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 1 10.5 ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 8 ounce container sour cream
- 1 cup butter melted, divided
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup crushed cornflakes
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup in place of cream of chicken.
- No cornflakes? Crushed Ritz crackers or potato chips make a great alternative topping.
- Garnish with sliced green onions just before serving for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
- To make ahead, assemble the casserole the night before (without the topping), cover, and refrigerate. Add the cornflakes and butter just before baking.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
