Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 oz frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, melted butter, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in the thawed hash brown potatoes and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese into the soup mixture.
  4. Pour the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese with the crushed cornflakes, if using. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly throughout and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare this dish the night before, cover it, and refrigerate. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if cooking straight from the refrigerator.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery soup.
  • This recipe works well with russet or Yukon Gold potatoes if you prefer to use fresh potatoes instead of frozen hash browns.
