Take 2 lbs of frozen hash browns and place them in a large bowl.

Add 16 oz of French onion dip to the bowl (can substitute with sour cream).

Add 1 can of cream of chicken soup to the mixture, using a spatula to help get it out.

Pour in 1 stick of melted butter over the mixture.

Add 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, using more if desired.

Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste into the mixture.

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly in the bowl, ensuring everything is well combined.

Spread the potato mixture evenly in a large baking casserole dish (larger than 9x13).

On one half of the casserole, sprinkle a generous layer of French fried onions.

On the other half, crush potato chips and sprinkle them generously over the mixture.

Distribute 6 tablespoons of butter evenly across the top of the casserole.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the casserole in the oven and bake for about 1 hour until bubbly and golden brown.
