Ingredients

  • 1 (30 oz) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for vegetarian)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups cornflakes, crushed
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheese, chopped onion, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Fold in thawed hash browns until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, toss crushed cornflakes with melted butter.
  6. Sprinkle cornflake topping evenly over the casserole.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until hot and bubbly with a golden topping.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use cream of mushroom for a vegetarian version.
  • For spice, add diced green chiles or jalapeños.
  • Try pepper jack or cheese blends for added flavor.
  • Substitute cornflakes with crushed Ritz crackers, potato chips, or panko.
  • Make ahead by assembling the base and adding topping before baking.
