Ingredients
  

  • 30 ounces frozen shredded hash browns thawed
  • 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup 1 can
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup onion finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, onion, half the cheddar, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  3. Spread into the baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar.
  4. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Thaw the hash browns first and pat off excess moisture so the casserole bakes up creamy, not watery. For a crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
