Defrost the hash browns for a few hours on the counter.

Spread the hash browns on paper towels and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.

Preheat the oven.

Butter a 9x13 dish with 1 tablespoon of butter, reserving the rest for the mixture.

In a bowl, combine the defrosted hash browns, cream of chicken and mushroom soup, sour cream, melted butter, minced onion, and cheese.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Spread the mixture evenly in the buttered dish.

Cover the dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven.

Bake for 35 minutes, then remove the foil and add more cheese on top.

Continue baking until bubbly and cheese is melted, which may take an additional 20 minutes.
