  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup

  • salt and pepper to taste Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 2 cups corn flakes
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine frozen hash browns, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, diced onion, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the mixture in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl, combine corn flakes and melted butter. Sprinkle the corn flake mixture evenly over the hash brown mixture.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients, especially the onion. You can add cooked bacon or sausage for a heartier version. Use different types of cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella to switch things up. Be careful not to overbake; you want the casserole to remain creamy inside.
