Preheat the oven to 375°F.

In a hot skillet, add the cut-up smoked sausage and sauté until browned to your desired level.

Add a whole onion to the skillet and continue to sauté.

Once the sausage and onion are cooked, add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute before removing from heat.

In a large bowl, combine 32 ounces of frozen hash browns with the sautéed sausage and onion mixture.

Add cream of chicken soup to the bowl (two cans if desired) and mix well.

Pour in half a stick of melted butter and 1 cup of sour cream, then stir until combined.

Add a little Tony's seasoning for flavor, if desired.

Transfer the mixture to a sprayed casserole dish and smooth it out evenly.

Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, check the potatoes for softness.

Remove the foil and add more shredded cheese on top, then sprinkle with parsley.

Return the casserole to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
