Ingredients
Potato Mixture
32 ounces frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
2 cups sour cream
1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
1 packet French onion soup mix
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
Topping
2 cups crushed cornflakes or buttery crackers
4 tablespoons melted butter
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine thawed hash browns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, French onion soup mix, cheddar cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix crushed cornflakes or crackers with melted butter and Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the potato mixture.
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until hot, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a combination of sharp cheddar and Gruyère cheese.
Freshly caramelized onions can be added for extra French onion flavor.
Assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Substitute cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor profile.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
