Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole
Description
Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole uses frozen shredded potatoes mixed with sour cream, cream of chicken soup, butter, onions, cheddar cheese, and seasonings such as garlic and onion powders, salt, and cracked black pepper. After combining, the mixture is spread into a baking dish, topped with more cheese, and baked uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. This results in a creamy, cheesy potato dish with tender interior and a slight crust from the browned cheddar on top.
The casserole works well as a side dish for breakfast, brunch, or dinner, providing comforting potato flavor enriched by dairy and aromatics like onion. Adding crumbled bacon optionally introduces a smoky, crispy element that complements the dish.
Note that bag sizes may vary, and using a smaller bag of frozen hashbrowns still produces good results without recipe changes.
