Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Prepare the aromatic base: In a large saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat. (10 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Combine the ingredients: In a large bowl, gently mix together the thawed and dried hash brown potatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, condensed cream of chicken soup, and the sautéed onion-garlic mixture until well combined. Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed. Pour the potato mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. (10 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Prepare the crispy topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the crushed corn flakes, melted butter, and garlic salt until the corn flakes are evenly coated. Sprinkle the corn flake mixture evenly over the potato mixture in the baking dish. (5 minutes)

05

Step
1 hrs

Bake the casserole: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the corn flake topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through, about 30 minutes more. (60 minutes)

06

Step

Let it rest for best results: Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the cornflake topping.
Ensure the hash browns are well-drained to prevent a soggy casserole.
Feel free to substitute the Mexican cheese blend with your favorite combination of cheeses.
To make this vegetarian, substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
Make ahead: The casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 15-20 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
