Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (30 oz) bag frozen shredded hashbrowns (thawed)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish

Optional substitutions:

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter twist.

Instructions

Step1: Prepare Your Oven and Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step2: Mix the Creamy Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

  • Cream of chicken soup
  • Sour cream
  • Melted butter
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Salt and pepper

Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step3: Combine Ingredients

Add shredded cheddar cheese and thawed hashbrowns to the creamy base. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.

Step4: Spread and Bake

Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling at the edges.

Step5: Cool and Serve

Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired for a pop of color.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt and flavor.
  • Thaw your hashbrowns completely before mixing to ensure even cooking.
  • Add a crunchy topping, like crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter, for extra texture.
