30ouncesShredded Hash Brown Potatoessuch as Ore-Ida Frozen Hashbrowns
2cupsCorn Flakes Cerealcrushed
¼cupButtermelted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a big bowl, mix sour cream, condensed cream of chicken soup, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions; stir until it's all mixed in.
Gently fold in the Ore-Ida Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes until they're evenly spread throughout the mixture.
Transfer everything to the prepared baking dish, making it nice and even. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
In a medium bowl, combine crushed corn flakes cereal and melted butter, making sure the cereal is coated evenly.
Sprinkle this buttery corn flake mixture evenly over the casserole, giving it a tasty crunch.
Pop the dish in the preheated oven, uncovered, and bake for about 45-50 minutes. You'll know it's ready when it's hot, bubbling, and the top is golden brown.
After taking it out, let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes before serving. This lets the flavors settle and makes it easier to dish out. Enjoy!
Notes
Add some diced ham, or cubed cooked chicken to make this more of a complete meal.Reheat individual portions of leftovers in the oven or a toaster oven rather than the microwave. This will help preserve that delightful crunchiness of the topping.If you want to make this casserole ahead of time, make the casserole as directed but do not add the corn flakes topping. Store the hashbrown casserole, covered with aluminum foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator. When ready to use, add the corn flakes topping and then bake as directed.
