Hash Brown Casserole Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine thawed hashbrowns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar, chopped onions, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Spread Hash Brown Casserole mixture in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. If you are making this the day before, you can cover it and put it in the refrigerator at this point, and add the cornflakes and butter in the morning.
If you are making this to use right away, crush 2 cups of cornflakes and sprinkle them over the casserole. Melt ¼ cup of butter in the microwave and evenly pour the melted butter over the cornflake topping to make buttery cornflakes.
Cover the hashbrown casserole with aluminum foil and bake in a 350-degree F oven for 55 minutes. Serve immediately.

Hash Brown is one of my family favorite dish any day. But have never tried it with this amazing and unique topping of Corn flakes.
Slee
This casserole is a favorite for our church dinners. We make 2 large pans and NEVER have any left over. I guess we should start making 3 large pans! Thank you for sharing.
Sarah
I made a very similar recipe to this today, but had a problem with the corn flake crust, so I looked online and found your recipe, and I thought maybe you could help me. The casserole was great, but the cornflake topping was not crunchy/crispy...instead it was kind of tough and chewy. I used 1 1/2 cups of crushed cornflakes and 3 TBS of melted butter, except I meted the butter stove-top, then mixed in the cornflakes. Do you think that might be the problem? Because you say to put the dry cornflakes on the casserole first, then pour the butter over top. Doing it this way would seem to not get all the cornflakes fully wet and immersed into the butter...so is that the key? I cooked on 350 for 50 minutes. Thanks for any advice you can give!
Sumer
Yum! So good and so simple to make. So glad I found this website! Can't wait to try the biscuit egg and sausage casserole!
Vicky
Thanks for the kind words!
Sumer
I'm absolutely doing this for dinner tonight! Going to throw in some breakfast sausage so the meat eaters won't complain but this looks delicious!!!!
Ashley
How did adding meat to it work out? Has anyone tried adding eggs as well?
P. Casey
Oven failure. Company coming. I have casserole ready to go. It needs to have cornflake topping added. then baked. Can it be salvaged by doing in microwave?
Vicky
Oh my gosh, what a nightmare. So sorry to hear the oven gave out. Never tried it in the microwave. If you did, please let me know how it turned out.
Halle
Can I separate into two dishes and freeze one dish (prior to baking) for future use?
Vicky
I have never tried that. If you do, please report back and let us know how it worked.
