Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (32 oz) bags frozen hashbrowns (Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole No Canned Soup)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups French fried onions (French Fried Onions)
- Butter or non-stick spray for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hashbrowns, cream of chicken or mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the top.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by a generous layer of French fried onions. This will give your cheesy potatoes that irresistible crispy topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye out for that perfect crispy topping.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or a plant-based creamy soup.
- You can prepare the casserole ahead of time, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Try adding cooked bacon crumbles or different fried onion brands for variation.
