Recipe tips
InstructionsPreheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a baking dish (we use a 2-quart 10 x 8 inch) lightly with cooking spray or rub a thin layer of oil. Melt the butter in a large bowl. Add the thawed hash browns and stir well to mix with the butter. Next, add the sour cream, cream of chicken, 1½ cup shredded cheese, salt, onion and garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well. Add the hash brown mixture to the greased casserole dish and use a rubber spatula to smooth it out. Bake (uncovered) for 45-50 minutes until hot and bubbly around the edges. Remove the casserole dish from the oven and top it with the remaining ½ cup of cheese. Bake for 15 minutes until melted. Let the casserole set for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, chives, or green onions, if desired, and enjoy. Storing and reheatingStore leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
