Step-by-Step 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 cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir in chopped onion and shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in the frozen shredded hash browns, ensuring they are coated without overmixing.
