Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen shredded hashbrown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup crushed corn flakes (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the thawed hashbrown potatoes, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, chopped onion (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese into the potato mixture.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese with the crushed corn flakes. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the potato mixture.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly throughout and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Let the cheesy potato casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare this entire casserole ahead of time. Cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10 extra minutes to the bake time if cooking straight from the refrigerator.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
  • This recipe works well as a make ahead potato casserole for holiday gatherings.
