1 small onion (finely chopped)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

2. In a large bowl, mix the thawed hashbrowns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, half of the cheddar cheese, melted butter, chopped onion, salt, and pepper.

3. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread the mixture evenly into it.

4. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

5. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.

6. Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes after baking.

7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Always thaw hashbrowns completely and pat dry to avoid soggy texture.

You can swap sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option.

For added protein, mix in cooked bacon or diced ham.
