Ingredients

  • 1 (32 oz) bag frozen hash brown potatoes (shredded or cubed)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

  2. In a large bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup melted butter, chopped onion, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir in hash brown potatoes and 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
  4. Spread mixture evenly in the baking dish and top with remaining cheese.
