# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine thawed hashbrowns, shredded cheddar cheese, condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
03 - Spread the hashbrown mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing gently to create a uniform layer.
04 - In a separate small bowl, toss crushed cornflakes with melted butter until flakes are evenly coated.
05 - Sprinkle buttered cornflakes evenly over the casserole surface. Bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes until topping is golden brown and casserole is bubbly around edges.
06 - Remove from oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow casserole to set for easier serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The contrast between creamy interior and buttery crunch makes every bite interesting
  • It feeds a crowd with minimal hands-on time and almost zero prep stress
02 -
  • Frozen hashbrowns must be completely thawed before mixing or you'll get uneven cooking and icy patches
  • Covering with foil for the first 30 minutes prevents the topping from burning before the center heats through
03 -
  • If the cornflakes start browning too quickly, loosely tent the dish with foil for the remaining bake time
  • Let the butter cool slightly before mixing so it doesn't partially melt the cheese and cause separation
