Ingredients:
1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
1 cup sour cream (240 g)
1 package (30 oz / 850 g) frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (200 g)
1/2 cup melted butter (115 g)
Optional: Salt, black pepper, or a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the cream soup, sour cream, melted butter, and 1½ cups of shredded cheese. Add seasoning if you like.
Add the potatoes: Stir in the thawed hash browns until everything is evenly coated.
Bake: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden on top.
Cool slightly before serving — it will set beautifully as it rests.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve warm as a comforting side dish with roasted chicken, steak, or BBQ ribs.
For a hearty breakfast, top with fried eggs or crispy bacon.
Add cooked sausage or ham for a full meal in one dish!
