Ingredients

Preparation Method


Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the frozen hashbrowns at the bottom of the dish, ensuring they form a uniform layer. Sprinkle the finely chopped onion evenly over the hashbrowns.

In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cheese, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Season this creamy mixture with salt and pepper according to your preference. Pour this mixture over the hashbrowns and onions, spreading it out evenly.

Finally, in another bowl, mix together the melted butter and the crushed cornflakes. Spread this crunchy topping evenly over the cheese layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about an hour, or until the top is golden brown and the sides are bubbling with cheesy goodness.

Tips and Conclusion


Want to add a little extra something? Try mixing in cooked bacon bits or diced ham into the cheese mixture for a heartier version. If you prefer a vegetarian option, add in your favorite veggies like bell peppers or broccoli. This casserole pairs perfectly with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad. If you have leftovers, they keep well in the refrigerator for up to three days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
