This easy hashbrown casserole is creamy, cheesy, made with a handful of simple ingredients, and baked to golden, bubbly perfection. A family favorite for over 20 years, it’s the ultimate comfort food perfect for holidays, brunches, or potlucks.
Combine melted butter, chicken soup, salt, pepper, onion powder, and cheese in a large bowl.
Mix in frozen hashbrowns.
Add to a greased 9x13 baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Broil the dish for a couple of minutes at the end of baking for a crispier top.
Notes
Use frozen hash browns straight from the bag. There's no need to thaw them! Be sure they aren’t clumped together so everything mixes evenly.
You can substitute cream of cheddar soup for the cream of chicken for basically the same flavor profile.
Swap in Monterey Jack, Colby, or a sharp cheddar blend for added flavor.
Try adding cooked bacon, diced ham, chopped green onions, or red pepper flakes for a little twist.
For a crispier top, broil the casserole for the last 2–3 minutes of baking.
Mix everything together, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to 24 hours in advance. Add 5–10 minutes to the baking time if going from fridge to oven.
If you're feeding a large crowd you can easily double (or triple) the recipe and bake it in a couple of dishes.
