Instructions
Get Prepped
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cup of Yum
Mix
- In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1/2 cup melted butter, chopped onion, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Assemble
- Spread the potato mixture evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with the remaining 1/4 cup melted butter. Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Serve
- Serve hot, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh onion. Freshly chopped onion adds more flavor and texture than dried onion.
- Add some spice. For a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the potato mixture.
- Make it ahead. Assemble the casserole a day in advance and refrigerate. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
