A delightful and creamy casserole dish featuring hash browns and cheddar cheese, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hash browns, chopped onion, melted butter, sour cream, condensed soup, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread the hash brown mixture evenly into it.
Use a spatula to level the mixture for even baking.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed corn flakes with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
The topping adds a delightful crunch to the dish.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the edges are bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy cheddar hash brown bake!
Allowing the casserole to rest helps it set and makes serving easier.
