This classic Cheesy Potatoes casserole is a comforting and hearty dish perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Potato Mixture

  • 2 lb bag frozen hash browns
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Cornflake Topping

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups corn flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Potato Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, 1 stick of melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Fill Baking Dish: Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Prepare Cornflake Topping: In a small bowl, pour the melted stick of butter over the corn flakes. Toss gently to coat the corn flakes completely with butter.
  5. Add Topping: Evenly sprinkle the buttered cornflakes over the top of the potato casserole, creating a crunchy layer.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the casserole is hot, bubbly, and the topping is golden brown.

Notes

  • To make this dish suitable for vegetarians, substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup or a vegetarian alternative.
  • For extra cheesiness, sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top before adding the cornflake mixture.
  • This casserole can be prepared a day in advance; refrigerate before baking and add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
  • To reduce salt, use low-sodium soup and unsalted butter, and adjust seasoning accordingly.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the cream of chicken soup and corn flakes are certified gluten-free.
