Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup crushed cornflakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the crushed cornflakes. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the potato mixture.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can assemble this casserole completely, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10 minutes to the initial baking time if cooking directly from the refrigerator.
  • For a different topping flavor, substitute crushed Ritz crackers for the cornflakes.
  • Shred your own potatoes if you prefer, but make sure they are well-drained of excess moisture.
