Hashbrown Casserole

Ingredients

• •1 bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and patted dry
• •2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• •1 can cream of chicken soup
• •1 cup sour cream
• •1/4 cup melted butter
• •1/2 tsp onion powder
• •Salt and pepper to taste
• •2 cups cornflakes, crushed
• •2 tbsp melted butter (for topping)

Steps

1. 1.Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 2.Pat the thawed hash browns dry with paper towels - excess moisture is what makes the casserole watery instead of creamy.
3. 3.Mix the hash browns, cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. 4.Spread into a baking dish.
5. 5.Toss the crushed cornflakes with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle over the top - the cornflake topping is the signature crunch of classic 'funeral potatoes.'
6. 6.Bake for 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
