Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
- 32 ounces frozen hash brown potatoes (thawed for 30–40 minutes)
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 1/4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 2 cup crushed cornflakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until tender; approximately 5 minutes
- In a large bowl stir together hash brown potatoes, onion, 1/2 cup melted butter, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cheddar and Monterey jack. Spoon into prepared dish.
- Stir together 1/4 cup melted butter and crushed cornflakes. Sprinkle over potatoes. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
- I take the frozen hash browns out of the freezer and let them sit on the counter for about 30-40 minutes before I start this recipe. This gives them a little thawing time so the whole mixture does not freeze into one big glob while I am trying to stir it.
- If you are really pressed for time you do not have to saute the onion but I think that it adds more depth and flavor and is well worth the extra 5 minutes.
- This casserole can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. Reserve mixing the conrflakes with butter until right before popping in the oven.
- This recipe calls for frozen hash brown potatoes but any frozen potato or parboiled potato will work.
- For best results do not use low fat sour cream or low fat cheese because they just don’t taste as good. You can eat a low calorie meal tomorrow or later in the week.
