Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (32-ounce) bag frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 1 (16-ounce) container French onion dip
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (6-ounce) container French fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix together the thawed hash browns, French onion dip, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and cream of chicken soup until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle the French fried onions on top, and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
- Make-ahead option: Prepare the casserole up to a day in advance, keeping the topping separate until baking time.
- For extra crunch, add an additional layer of French fried onions before serving.
- Want more flavor? Try mixing in a little crumbled bacon or using a blend of cheddar and Gruyère cheese.
