Ingredients

• 32 oz frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cups cornflakes cereal
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 stick unsalted butter (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Dice the yellow onion into small pieces. Melt 1 stick of butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sautéed onion to the bowl with the cheese mixture.

Step 4

Fold the frozen shredded hash brown potatoes into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it into an even layer.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 0.5 stick of butter. Crush the cornflakes cereal into coarse crumbs and mix them with the melted butter.

Step 7

Sprinkle the buttered cornflakes evenly over the top of the potato mixture to create the crunchy topping.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
