Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 30 oz bag frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed and drained
  • 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt for lighter version
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Optional: 1 cup crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs for topping

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish
  • 1 Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine thawed hashbrowns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, melted butter, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  3. Transfer mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese on top. If desired, add crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.
  5. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, swap sour cream with Greek yogurt and use reduced-fat cheese.
  • Add diced ham, bacon, or sausage for a hearty breakfast casserole.
  • Pairs perfectly with Apple Chickpea Salad or Pureed Vegetable Soup Recipe for a balanced meal.
  • Can be assembled a day ahead; just cover and refrigerate, then bake fresh before serving.
