Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
  3. Fold in the finely chopped onion, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Gently add the frozen shredded hash browns, careful not to mash them; keep them fluffy.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly in the greased baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Mix crushed cornflakes or buttery crackers with melted butter and sprinkle over the casserole.
  7. Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

  9. Garnish with chopped parsley, sliced green onions, or extra cheese if desired.
