Ingredients

30 oz shredded hash brown potatoes thawed
10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup butter melted
1/2 cup onion chopped
2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups cornflakes crushed
1/4 cup butter melted (for topping)

Instructions

Get Prepped

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Thaw the 30 oz shredded hash brown potatoes. Let the potatoes thaw in the refrigerator overnight or spread them on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes, until thawed.
Chop the onion and measure out the remaining ingredients.

Mix

In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, 10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup, 2 cups sour cream, 1/2 cup butter (melted), 1/2 cup onion, 2 cups cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Assemble

Spread the potato mixture evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Prepare the Topping

In a small bowl, mix the 2 cups cornflakes (crushed) with 1/4 cup butter (melted). Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Serve

Serve hot, and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh onion. Freshly chopped onion adds more flavor and texture than dried onion.
Add some spice. For a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the potato mixture.
Make it ahead. Assemble the casserole a day in advance and refrigerate. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
