🧾 Ingredients (Serves 6–8 people)
1 bag (about 32 oz) frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for a vegetarian option)
1 to 1½ cups sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
(Optional: salt, black pepper, garlic powder for extra flavor)
👩🍳 Instructions (Step-by-Step)
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the creamy base
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
sour cream
cream of chicken soup
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Mix everything until smooth and creamy. This will be the rich base of your casserole.
3. Add the hash browns
Add the thawed shredded hash browns into the mixture.
Gently fold everything together until the potatoes are fully coated with the creamy mixture.
4. Assemble the casserole
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Spread it evenly using a spatula so it bakes uniformly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top for a golden, cheesy crust.
5. Bake
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until:
the top is golden brown
the edges are bubbling
the casserole is fully heated through
6. Serve and enjoy
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or even as a main comfort meal.
