  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 10½ oz cream of chicken soup
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp toasted bread crumbs

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 1½ quart baking dish.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

  • In a large bowl, stir together the hash browns, chopped onion, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and salt until well combined.

  • Sprinkle toasted bread crumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 5: Bake

  • Bake uncovered at 350°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

Tips

  • Substitute cream of mushroom or celery soup for a vegetarian version.
  • Use shredded hash browns or diced-style, both work well.
  • Add cooked bacon or diced ham for a meaty variation.
  • Swap out cheddar for a cheese blend like Monterey Jack or Colby.
  • Add a dash of garlic powder or paprika for more depth of flavor.
  • Use crushed cornflakes or French fried onions instead of bread crumbs for a crispier
