Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen shredded hashbrowns
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Butter and Topping
- 6 tbsp butter, divided
- 2 cups cornflakes, crushed
Instructions
- Sauté onion: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté until soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Mix base ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, sautéed onions, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir well to blend all ingredients.
- Season: Add salt and black pepper to the mixture, stirring to evenly distribute seasoning.
- Add hashbrowns: Gently fold in the frozen shredded hashbrowns until they are fully coated with the creamy mixture.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Spread the hashbrown mixture evenly into the dish.
- Prepare topping: Combine the crushed cornflakes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F and bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are bubbly and the cornflake topping is golden brown.
- Rest and serve: Remove from oven and let the dish rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup.
- Frozen hashbrowns should be thawed slightly to prevent excess water but can be used straight from the freezer if well-drained.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for a rich flavor, but a milder cheese can be substituted if preferred.
- To make it gluten free, ensure the cream soup and cornflakes are certified gluten free.
- For extra crispiness, broil the topping for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
