Instructions

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Pro tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated to ensure even cooking.

Mix Casserole Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, onion, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.

Pro tip: Use a spatula to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

Prepare Baking Dish

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Pro tip: Make sure to coat the sides and bottom to prevent sticking.

Add Casserole Mixture

Pour the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Prepare Topping

In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with melted butter until fully combined.

Pro tip: The butter helps the cornflakes to crisp up during baking.

Add Topping

Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Pro tip: Ensure an even layer for a consistent crunchy topping.

Bake Casserole

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Pro tip: Check at 40 minutes to prevent over-browning.
