📋How To Make Easy Hash Brown Casserole

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine thawed hashbrowns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar, chopped onions, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

STEP 2: Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

STEP 3: Spread Hash Brown Casserole mixture in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. If you are making this the day before, you can cover it and put it in the refrigerator at this point, and add the cornflakes and butter in the morning.

STEP 4: If you are making this to use right away, crush 2 cups of cornflakes and sprinkle them over the casserole. Melt ¼ cup of butter in the microwave and evenly pour the melted butter over the cornflake topping to make buttery cornflakes.

STEP 5: Cover the hashbrown casserole with aluminum foil and bake in a 350-degree F oven for 55 minutes. Serve immediately.
