Cheesy Potato Casserole
Description
Cheesy Potato Casserole uses frozen hashbrowns mixed with chopped onion, cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. The mixture is spread in a baking dish, covered with foil for most of baking to keep moisture in and promote even cooking. Towards the end, the foil is removed to allow the cheese topping to brown and develop some color and slight crispness.
The creamy, cheesy mixture softens the hashbrowns throughout the baking process, while the cheddar cheese adds richness and a mild tang. This casserole’s texture is tender but not mushy, with a golden cheese crust. It serves well alongside meats or as a vegetarian main if desired.
It can be assembled several days ahead and kept refrigerated until baking, making it convenient for planning meals during busy times. Leftovers store well in the fridge for almost a week and can be reheated.
