Panko adds crunch without the sugar of sweetened cereals.

Melt half a stick of butter in a pan.

Add 10 oz of shredded hash browns to the melted butter and cook until soft.

Dice a small onion and add it to the pan to soften with the hash browns.

Season with about 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Once the potatoes and onions are soft, add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and stir.

Add about 1/3 package of cream cheese and about 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, stirring until combined and the cream cheese melts.

Add a handful of mixed cheese (Monterey Jack, cheddar, queso quesadilla) and mix well.

Transfer the mixture to a 9x9 square baking dish.

Top with a layer of cheese, then crush Corn Flakes on top for crunch.

Dot the top with small chunks of salted butter.

Bake in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
