Ingredients

hash brown potatoes - shredded work best for this recipe
cream of chicken soup - adds a delightful creaminess and texture
sour cream - helps the other ingredients to really meld together
shredded cheddar cheese - you can also use a cheddar jack mix
onion - chopped. I used white onion
salt
black pepper
butter - make the cornflakes tasty and crunchy
crushed corn flakes - gives a hint of sweetness and crunch

To make this cheesy hash brown casserole with corn flakes, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine thawed hash brown potatoes, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar, chopped onions and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Put the cornflakes and butter aside for the topping.

Stir well until all the ingredients and cheesy potatoes are thoroughly combined.

Spread Hash Brown Casserole mixture in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. I love this Anchor Hocking Bake and Take set. It makes it so easy to bring this casserole to a gathering. 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 recipe for hash brown casserole 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 over corn flake mixture to make buttery corn flakes.

Cover the hashbrown casserole recipe with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 55 minutes. Serve immediately. If you have any leftovers (you probably won't) it will keep well in the refrigerator for a few days.

This is one of my favorite potato recipes and makes the perfect side dish or breakfast. If you are a fan of food that sweet and salty, these cheesy hash browns are a winner!
