Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole (My Easy, Creamy, Family-Favorite Side!)

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheddar

💰Cheaper: colby cheese

Colby cheese is often less expensive but similar in taste.

cream of chicken soup

🥗Healthier: homemade cream soup

💰Cheaper: cream of mushroom soup

Cream of mushroom is often cheaper and can be used interchangeably.

corn flakes

🥗Healthier: panko breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: generic brand corn flakes

Generic corn flakes can save money without sacrificing texture.

Take a bag of 2 lbs frozen hash browns and add to a large bowl.

Add 16 oz of sour cream to the bowl.

Add 2 cups of cheddar cheese to the mixture.

Add 1 can of cream of chicken soup.

Add 2 tablespoons of minced onion, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the mixture.

Add 1/2 cup of melted butter and mix everything together until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a 13 by 9 baking dish.

In a separate bowl, add about 2 cups of corn flakes and then add 1/4 cup of melted butter, tossing to combine.

Sprinkle the cornflake topping over the hash brown mixture in the baking dish.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven at 350°F for about 1 hour.

Remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until crispy and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
