Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs frozen shredded hashbrown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crushed corn flakes (optional topping)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the thawed hashbrown potatoes, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, melted butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until everything is just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. If using, mix the crushed corn flakes with a tablespoon of melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly throughout and the top is golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle an extra layer of cheddar cheese over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking if you desire extra gooeyness.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare this entire casserole the night before, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if cooking straight from the refrigerator.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
  • This recipe is a fantastic make ahead casserole for Thanksgiving dinner.
