Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix the thawed hash browns with 1/2 cup melted butter, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chopped onion, shredded cheddar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, toss the crushed cornflakes with 1/4 cup melted butter and sprinkle over the casserole.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.

Notes

Can be assembled a day in advance—just add topping before baking.

Make it vegetarian by swapping in cream of mushroom or celery soup.

Use gluten-free alternatives for soup and topping if needed.

Try adding cooked ham, chicken, or bacon for extra protein.

Different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack can be used for variation.
